2021 Sloth Ironman Games

Have you heard of the BIGGEST sporting event of 2021? Nope, it’s not the Masters. It’s not Wimbledon. It’s not even the Olympics.

It’s the 6^th Annual Sloth Ironman Games at the one and only Toucan Rescue Ranch! This year, the Sloth Athlete Reveal will announce the four well-trained slothletes on International Sloth Day, October 20!

Are the terms ‘Slothelete’ and ‘Sloth Ironman Games’ confusing you? Let me break it down for you…

TRR has always believed strongly in the importance of enrichment for both our residents and releasable animals. Sloths, with their slow nature and interesting natural behaviors, inspired TRR’s Marketing Manager, Zara Palmer, to film a sloth enrichment series to test their skills and strength on their journey back into the wild. Thus, the Sloth Ironman Games was born! This special online event not only shows off sloths and their quirky personalities but also creates an initiative for people from all over the world to get involved in sloth conservation! Tune in next month and watch as your favorite Slothlete competes in the 2021 Sloth Ironman Games Series. The series includes a four-part challenge of enrichment activities: the 1-Meter Dash; Strong Sloth Challenge; Poop-Off Challenge; and the Hibiscus Eat-Off.

And yes, the fastest sloth wins! Progress will be shown on our social media channels so you can stay up to date on the Ironman Games! You can also cheer on your favorite Slothlete by voting for them in the form of a monetary donation on our crowdfunding campaign called MightyCause. All donations made during the Sloth Ironman Games will be put towards each sloth’s release back into the wild, covering costs for food, medical care, emergency transportation, enrichment, and much more. Be on the lookout for updates on our social media leading up to the event!
