Lyle Anderson
I was Born and Raised In Richland Washington. Â My family moved to Southern Utah In 1993. Â Where I still live to this day. Â I have been married for 16 years and have 4 beautiful children. Â I was introduced to running about 7 years ago. Â After being diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis) on my 30th birthday. Â I decided I still had a few things I wanted to accomplish in my life while I still have the ability to do so. Â In 2010 I ran my first full Marathon. Â In 2012 I finished my first full Ironman in St George. Â Since then I have completed 7 full Marathons, 8 half Ironman distance races, 12 Olympic Triathlons, 7 Spint Triathlons, 38 half Marathons and more 5k’s and relays than I care to list.
Running and Triathlon have opened my eyes to a whole new world of possibilities I never new existed before.  I realize now that anything is possible with a little work and mental preparation.
I had the privileged of working with Vacation Races on The Zion Half Marathon.  I can proudly say I am thrilled to be back and working with them again to put on more great events  In addition to my work with Vacation Races.  I also Co-Founded and Co-Directed the “Underground Runner Series”.  I also actively serve on the board for The Southern Utah Triathlon Club.  Where I coordinate workouts and events.
