Gerard Charlton has had a pre Ultraman sporting career and post Ultraman sporting career.
Like most athletes, pre Ultraman, Gerard was all about racing Ironman in Penticton (11 times) and just trying to get a little faster. In 2005, with some prodding from Steve King, Gerard took on Ultraman Canada. At that time in his life, his sports became more about meeting the challenge and doing it for a greater good. These challenges included him becoming the third ever Uberman finisher and completing the Canadian Death Race.
For a quick recap of the Uberman experience you can watch this video on Youtube narrated by Steve King.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
