"World Triathlon Corporation is close to bringing an Ironman race to New York City as it seeks to capitalize on the growth of endurance sports among financial professionals.
The group is in negotiations with city officials about staging its marquee event in Manhattan, said Steve Meckfessel, chief operating officer of World Triathlon, which owns and operates Ironman events."
