The year 2025 marked the completion of an extraordinary mission. What began as a commitment to push personal limits in support of adaptive athletes became a journey of resilience, purpose, and community. Completing three Full Ironman races in one year was a powerful testament to discipline, grit, and the impact created when passion meets meaning.
And closing the season with an incredible milestone, Gordon qualified for the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Nice during his final race of the year in La Quinta — a major achievement that now defines the next chapter.
With last year's challenge successfully completed, a new chapter begins — one driven by love, remembrance, and the desire to honor a life that touched many.
In 2026, Gordon will take on his next major challenge: competing in the Ironman 70.3 World Championship on September 12th in Nice, France.
This race — known for its demanding course, world-class field of athletes, and breathtaking setting — will be completed in honor of his mother, Susan Jarratt (1943–2025).
Miles for Susan 2026 transforms Gordon's qualification into a meaningful tribute. Every stroke in the water, every kilometer on the bike, and every step of the run will be dedicated to her memory and to supporting progress in the fight against Parkinson's disease.
From the beginning, this journey was never just about finishing races; it was about pushing limits to make a meaningful difference. Every mile, every challenge, and every moment of perseverance was fueled by a greater purpose.
The preparation is intense, the commitment demanding, and the execution relentless — but this challenge carries a deeper emotional weight. It reflects the resilience and quiet strength Gordon witnessed in his mother throughout her most difficult moments.
What made the previous journey remarkable was not only the personal endurance, but the collective support of family, friends, colleagues, and everyone who stood behind each race and milestone.
And now, that same community becomes a part of this new chapter — honoring Susan, uplifting Gordon, and contributing to a cause that affects thousands of families worldwide.
Although last year's challenge is complete, the mission continues — now transformed into a tribute of love and remembrance.
Miles for Susan 2026 carries forward the same spirit of perseverance, community, and purpose, now honoring Susan's life and legacy.
Every contribution, every message, and every mile helps create something meaningful in her memory.
The finish lines of last year were crossed — but this year, a new finish line awaits in Nice.
