James Lawrence Biography
After setting multiple world records, Canadian athlete James Lawrence sought to push his mental and physical boundaries even further. His remarkable journey has caught the attention of audiences worldwide.
Popularly known as the Iron Cowboy, Lawrence acquired this moniker from the public after deciding to wear a cowboy hat during the marathon segment of his Ironman races, a simple way for his children to spot him amidst the crowd. Not only has Lawrence held two Guinness World Records, but he also set a new record in 2021 by completing 100 consecutive Ironman-distance triathlons in as many days during the “Conquer 100” event. He continued this feat, finishing one more for a total of 101 in 101 consecutive days, a record that stood until it was topped in 2023 by Welsh athlete Sean Conway. Furthermore, Lawrence holds the current record for the highest number of half-Ironman distance triathlons in one year, having completed 22 in 2011.
His energy, humor, determination, and accomplishments have made him a captivating speaker. He inspires audiences to transcend their own limitations. Lawrence's personal narrative resonates with many, proving that ordinary individuals can achieve extraordinary feats. To date, he has spoken in over twenty countries.
Lawrence's feats of endurance have earned him spots on Sports Illustrated's top 50 fittest freaks list, alongside athletes like Lebron James and Conor McGregor, and Success magazine has dubbed him "The Most Enduring Man In The World." He has indeed redefined the concept of impossibility and shares his journey with audiences around the globe.
Lawrence is also the author of "Iron Cowboy: Redefine Impossible," a memoir released on October 22, 2017. The book gives an in-depth look into his 2015 world record for consecutive Ironman-distance triathlons. He resides in Utah with his wife, Sunny, and their five children.

James Lawrence Speaking Topics
Today, we’re faced with mounting pressures, demands from every angle, being told we need to do more – except with less resources. In this talk, James Lawrence brings his combination of energy, humor, determination, and achievements to captivate the audience and create an inspirational and awakening phenomenon for all. James’ story of reaching new limits is one that all of us can relate to–in business, at home, in school. He is an ordinary guy, whose extraordinary personal story will make you laugh, cry, reflect, and leave you inspired to reach higher. James has spoken all over the world, on stages in more than 20 countries.
When James Lawrence (aka the Iron Cowboy) announced his plan to complete 50 Ironmans in 50 consecutive days in all 50 states, the only person who believed that he could pull it off was James himself (and his wife, Sunny). An Ironman consists of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile run. In Lawrence’s case, he would have to complete those distances and then make it to the next state in time to do it all over again the next day. Even Lawrence’s coach didn’t think he could complete the challenge; enough that he penciled in another event the day Lawrence was supposed to complete the 50. But with the support of Sunny, their five children in tow, and with grassroots support always conjured at the last minute via Facebook, he accomplished what he set out to do. Iron Cowboy is the story of Lawrence’s herculean 50-day journey and all the extraordinary, miserable, and life-threatening events that happened along the way, as well as a glance at his life leading up to the mission and winning two prior world records.
