JACKSON LAUNDRY

Jackson started his endurance sport journey running cross country in grade school, but didn’t start training until late in secondary school as he continually played many team sports. While studying at The University of Guelph, he began to focus on Triathlon and started working with James Loaring. This marked a change in focus to elite performance; James has now been Jackson's coach for over 12 years. ​

​

Jackson is a middle distance specialist who has earned the respect of fans and peers as one of the best all arounders on the circuit. He is a threat to win every time he toes the line, with 6 Ironman 70.3 Victories and two dozen podiums since his first 70.3 race in 2017. He suffered a serious bike crash at the 2019 Ironman 70.3 World Championship, which required 2 surgeries to repair a broken Shoulder blade and collar bone, but came back stronger with significantly improved results since the surgeries.

 

Jackson's career 70.3 highlights include: Winning Ironman 70.3 Oceanside 2022,  5th and 7th place finishes at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships, and achieving multiple podium finished in 7 consecutive seasons. 

​

Jackson aims to perform well across the 70.3 and full distance in 2026, targeting the Ironman Pro Series.
