He has four children including Korbin (born 1997), Skye (born 1999), and Zac (born 2007). He is currently training for the next summer Olympics in 2008 in flatwater canoe racing.

[edit] Sponsorship

When he first started out, Hutchings had problems getting a sponsor since he was an unknown, until he contacted Durex condoms, who agreed to sponsor him. He became the first iron man to have a "sexual aide" company sponsor him. Cory is currently the spokesperson for Kelloggs NutriGrain, alongside his son, Korbin, and Flora ProActiv margarine.
