Some 1,500 people registered to run, paddle and chug in the 2025 Ironman event in Hermosa Beach, an event that began at 8 a.m. and concluded by 9:50 a.m. 

The July 4th competition asks entrants to run a mile, paddle a mile and then drink a six-pack of beer. They are alloted 20 minutes afterwards, and whoever has the best time without throwing up, wins. 

Annie Seawright-Newton won in the women’s category and Blake Vogleslang took the trophy in the men’s category. 

This was the 51st annual Ironman in Hermosa.
