IRONMAN KONA | 2013 - 2015
GoPro signed on to be the title sponsor for Ironman, Kona World Championships in 2013-2015. Working aside our partners & common athletes, our GoPro splinter unit collaborated with Texas Crew Productions, who produces the IRONMAN, Kona World Championship for NBC Sports. Collectively we combined over 150 hours of original footage to produce 3 GoPro branded segments within the international broadcast and throughout the 12hr live web-hosted version of the event. Year after year our teams provided those unique GoPro shots from inside the event that only a GoPro camera can obtain.
