Matt Hansen (USA) was at or near the front of the race throughout the 1.2 mile swim and and 56 mile bike. The American started the run 0:13 down to Joe Gambles (AUS) and hit the gas hard and assumed the lead within the first mile, while Taylor Reid (CAN) started the run +1:13 down. The Canadian closed the gap to Hanson but could never get any closer than 13 seconds to Hanson who took the victory by a 13 second margin.
Jackie Hering (USA) was one of women that were inseparable throughout the swim and the bike. Before the five women reached the 1 mile mark of the run, Hering had close to a half a minute lead on the field. That would be the last the competition would see of Hering as she ran away with the race and stopping the clock at 4:15:06 for the win in Michigan.
