Kemper Reback
Triathlon runs in Kemper's blood. Named after family friend and four-time Olympic triathlete Hunter Kemper, with aunt and uncle multi-Olympic triathletes Laura and Greg Bennett, Kemper has been racing alongside all three of her family’s generations since she was 6. Kemper’s "IRONMAN Why" moment happened in 2003 at the IRONMAN World Championships in Kailua-Kona, HI, where her father, racing with her grandfather and uncle, grabbed her out of the crowd and carried her through the finish chute.
In her spare time between training and racing at an elite level, earning her professional triathlete status multiple times, and graduating summa cum laude in public relations from The University of Florida, Kemper dedicated her time as the VP of PR for her family-founded global 501(c)3 nonprofit Believe With Me serving military families.
The IRONMAN Foundation feels like home to her as she is excited to give back to the sport and the communities that provide such core experiences and skills and truly shaped her life's passion.
