WELCOME
TO IRONMAN Wisconsin
Ryan Richards
Race Director
Welcome to the 2015 IRONMAN Wisconsin!
Athletes will feel the roar of the crowd as the cannon signals the start
of the race in the waters of Lake Monona. Then set off on the legendary
two-loop bike course ridden in the beautiful rural landscape that can only
be Wisconsin. The crowds will gather in Verona, Mt. Horeb and other towns
to cheer the athletes on. The run will give athletes a great tour of Downtown Madison and the UW Campus as the two-loop course showcases
many famous landmarks including the Capitol, State St, Camp Randall, and
Observatory Hill.
Spectators will be able to see the athletes many times throughout the day
as they move through the swim, bike and run courses. Athletes will appreciate the support as they go through the varying degrees of fatigue and
emotion that define this 140.6 mile journey.
I would like to thank the volunteers who give so much effort and support
that each athlete can realize their dream of becoming an IRONMAN. I would
also like to thank the City of Madison, University of Wisconsin, the Town of
Madison, City of Fitchburg, City of Verona, City of Mt. Horeb and Village of
Cross Plains for their support to make this event a reality.
Enjoy your time in Madison and good luck to you for a safe and successful
race.

MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD REFEREE
IRONMAN will operate under the “three strikes and you’re out” principle. Even
though DRAFTING and LITTERING are the only two violations to incur a time
penalty (to be served in the closest penalty tent, located along the bike course),
every type of violation counts toward your three strikes, and every bike course
violation requires a stop in a penalty tent. Any penalties incurred on the run
course are to be served at the point of infraction. Any combination of three
Violations results in a DSQ.
Jimmy Riccitello
IRONMAN HEAD REFEREE
So that you understand the rules on race day, please take the time to read and
understand the rules in the Athlete Guide and the 2015 IRONMAN Competition
Rules.
DRAFTING VIOLATION

the bike course
Always ride on the right side of your lane to avoid an ILLEGAL POSITION or
BLOCKING call.
LITTERING VIOLATION
Keep five bike lengths of clear space between your bike’s front wheel and the
rear wheel of the cyclist in front of you to avoid a DRAFTING call.
BLUE CARD
Always pass on the left of the cyclist in front of you; Never on the right to
avoid an ILLEGAL PASS call. Complete your pass within 20 seconds to avoid a
DRAFTING call.
five minute time penalty
served in a penalty tent on
the bike course
Passed athletes must be seen making immediate and constant rear progress
out of the drafting zone to avoid a DRAFTING call.
BLOCKING VIOLATION
YELLOW CARD
Triathlon is an individual event, and it is your responsibility to fully understand
the rules and avoid penalties. The referee’s ruling is final in the case of
POSITION violations, and there are no protests or appeals. Other common
violations include:

served at the next penalty
tent
DISQUALIFICATION (DSQ)
!
HELMET CHINSTRAP
Your chinstrap must be securely fastened whenever you are on your bike
on race day.
!
RACE NUMBER
You must wear your bib number during the run portion of the race. In
addition, your bike frame sticker must be properly attached to your bike
frame and must be visible from both sides.
!
LITTERING
Do not throw ANYTHING outside of official aid stations. Littering will result
in a five minute time penalty.
!
UNAUTHORIZED EQUIPMENT
Sorry, absolutely NO communication devices, MP3 players or other audio
devices. (Yes, that means NO cell phones).
!
OUTSIDE ASSISTANCE
Non-racers may NOT ride or run alongside you.
!
TIME PENALTIES
Remember that even though DRAFTING and LITTERING are the only
violations that incur a five minute time penalty, you must go to a penalty
tent for any violation to have your number marked, and all violations count
toward your three strikes. There will be no penalty tents on the run. If you
are penalized on the run, the official will mark your number on the spot.
RED CARD
Any combination of three
violations will result in race
disqualification.
Please treat other athletes, all volunteers, and your referees with courtesy
and consideration. Not doing so is UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT and
may result in disqualification. I sincerely hope you have a great race and
achieve all your goals.

Pre-Race INFORMATION
Athlete Check-In
Athlete Check-In hours are Thursday, September 10 and Friday,
September 11 from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. at Monona Terrace. Please note
that Athlete Check-In will NOT be open on Saturday or race day. If
you do not check-in during the designated Athlete Check-In hours
you will not be able to race. ALL RACE PACKETS MUST BE PICKED
UP BY 5 P.M. ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11.
Please bring the following items with you to Athlete Check-In:
• Photo Identification
• USAT card to show proof of current USAT membership or $12.00
USD (cash only) to purchase a one-day license. If you are a USAT
member and forget your card, you will be required to sign the USAT
waiver and purchase a $12.00 USAT one-day license.
• If you are a professional athlete, you are required to submit proof
of professional status at check-in.
Please Note: Athletes competing in IRONMAN events are
required to check-in at the venue during the dates and times
listed in the Athlete Guide and Event Schedule. Athlete Check-In
will not be available outside the posted times. Should an athlete
have a legitimate emergency, IRONMAN will try to accommodate
the athlete to the best of our ability as long as the athlete informs
IRONMAN. To inform IRONMAN of any emergency during race week,
athletes must call the EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBER listed on the
next page.
Athletes who show up after the posted check-in dates and times
will not be allowed to race unless prior arrangements were made
via the emergency phone. These rules are in effect for a number of
important reasons and exist to make your experience the best, safest and most stress-free it can be.
The scheduling of Athlete Check-In is designed to allow each athlete
the opportunity to become oriented with the venue, acclimated to
the area and receive all the necessary information needed to have a
successful race.
Mandatory Athlete Briefings will be held during Expo hours in the
three days prior to the event (check the event schedule for times)
and are hosted for the benefit of all athletes. The briefings will cover
important information pertaining to any peculiarities of the course,
rules and cut-off times for the disciplines and most importantly any
last minute changes or procedures to the event that have occurred,
or may potentially occur due to weather related forecasts.
It is equally important for athletes to have ample time to check-in
their bike and other gear and to make sure all bases are covered
leading up to race day. Rushing to complete all necessary tasks
within a couple of hours is counterproductive to race preparation.
It also creates additional pressure on event staff who work under a
tight deadline to execute an IRONMAN event.
Competing in an IRONMAN event is a significant endeavor and requires proper planning for your safety and the safety of your fellow
competitors, the volunteers, event staff and the hosting community.
Athlete Wristband
A wristband printed with your race number will be affixed to your
wrist at Athlete Check-In. This band will identify you as an official
athlete and must be worn during race week. The wristband is required for medical identification purposes and allows you access to
banquets, transition and post-race athlete recovery areas.
You will not be allowed to remove your bicycle and/or gear from
transition following the race without your wristband affixed to your
wrist. Please do not remove your wristband before the IRONMAN
Athlete Celebration, as it will identify you as an athlete.
PLEASE NOTE: Athletes must wear all official race participant
items issued at Athlete Check-In. Items include; the official swim
cap, wristband, bike stickers, race bib number, and timing chip. Failure to do so or wear outside items will result in a DSQ.
Bike/Run Gear Bags
And Special Needs Bags
During Athlete Check-In, athletes will receive five bags:
White [Morning Clothes]
Blue [Bike Gear]
Orange [Bike Special Needs]
Red [Run Gear]
Black [Run Special Needs]
Mandatory Bike And Gear Check-In
Mandatory Bicycle and Gear Bag Check-In is Saturday, September
12 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Monona Terrace.
Bike Check-In: Monona Terrace Parking Lot
Bike Gear Bag Check-In: Monona Terrace Ballroom C & D
Run Gear Bag Check-In: Monona Terrace Hall of Ideas Room G & J
All bicycles and Bike/Run Gear Bags must be checked in on Saturday and left overnight. Bicycles and Bike/Run Gear Bags will not
be permitted to enter transition on race morning. While bikes are
stored in transition, athletes will be allowed to cover their seats and
handlebars only from inclement weather. Full bike covers ARE NOT
ALLOWED as it presents a safety hazard to volunteers and other
competitors. Full bike covers will be removed from any bikes left in
transition once Bike Check-In is over. You will have access to your
bicycle beginning at 5 a.m. on race morning, but you will not be allowed to remove your bike from transition until the start of the bike
portion of the race.
Pack your bike and run gear in the appropriate gear bag and place
them in the proper place. Be sure your running gear has reflective
material on the front and back of your clothes and shoes. Helmets
and cycling shoes MUST go into the athlete’s Bike Gear Bag. No
loose gear will be allowed on the ground next to the bicycles in
transition.
Thank you for your cooperation. We want to ensure the very best
experience for you, not only on race day, but throughout the weekend’s activities.

Pre-Race
INFORMATION conTinued
Personal Communication Plan
Pre-Event Swim Advisement
Prior to departing for Madison, be sure to establish a communications plan with family and friends back home. Share the race day
emergency contact listed below with those who may need to reach
you in an emergency. Even if you are in Madison with family and
friends, it is essential that you have a plan for contacting or reuniting
with your group following the race.
The majority of our events are held in locations where the swim
course utilizes a body of water that is open to the general public for
swimming, boating and other recreational and commercial activities.
IRONMAN wishes to caution all participants that it does not provide
lifeguard services prior to the event, and that all participants who
siwm prior to race day will do so at their own risk.
Race Day Emergency Contact:
IRONMAN Athlete Services
813-486-2113
wisconsin@ironman.com
While we make reasonable efforts to inspect the swim entry and
exit points for underwater hazards, the inspection does not take
place until just before the swim discipline starts. Participants are
further admonished to exercise caution and use common sense if
they elect to swim prior to the event and to be mindful of underwater hazards. Keep in mind that this is a natural body of water and is
subject to hidden hazards including, but no limited to: currents, underwater obstructions, tides, rip currents and indigenous marine life
Emergency phone hours are as follows:
Thursday, September 10: 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Friday, September 11 : 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Saturday, September 12: 8 a.m. - 8 p.m.
Race Day, Sunday, September 13: 5 a.m. - 12:30 a.m.
Monday, September 14: 8 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Personal Safety
Always train with at least one other person (especially in the open
water). While swimming, please wear a brightly colored swim cap
and ensure that your family members and/or friends know where
you are. When training, please bike and run on the shoulder without
moving into the traffic lane. Please be courteous and aware that the
people sharing the roads with you are people you will count on during race day to fulfill your physical and emotional needs. Please ride
single file, as biking side by side is illegal.
As you are one of Madison’s invited guests, please respect and obey
the traffic laws during your training practices. Violators will be cited.
You are required to carry proper identification at all times. If you are
stopped, you must present your identification to the inquiring officer.
Failure to do so may result in race disqualification. Your cooperation
is appreciated.
WELCOME BANQUET
Each athlete will receive complimentary entry into the Welcome
Dinner. Your athlete wristband provides you with access to this
function. Please do not remove your wristband prior to the function or you will be denied entry. Family and friends must purchase
a ticket to attend. Tickets are available for purchase online at www.
ironman.com/wisconsin and at the Information Booth in the IRONMAN Village during hours of operation. Please check the Event
Schedule for times and location. We recommend arriving early, as
these events typically sell out.

bags on Main Street between the Starbucks and Walgreens. PLEASE
NOTE: It is suggested that athletes drop their special needs bags off
before heading to transition due to it’s location. Do NOT put anything
of value in your bike or run special needs bags. Special needs bags will

MyLaps Pro Chip, swim cap, and wetsuit. Bike technicians and pumps
will be available in transition race morning. Please do not wear your bib

head out on the run course. You do not need your bib number on the
bike. The number will not hold up for the duration of the race if it gets
wet
Body marking will begin at 5 a.m. just inside transition. Do not number
yourself expecting to bypass check-in. During the body marking process, athletes are responsible for ensuring the body marking volunteers
mark the athlete’s age as of December 31, 2015 which corresponds
with the age division in which the athlete will compete in on race
day. You will not be permitted in transition on race day without your
wristband, swim cap and MyLaps Pro Chip. If you have misplaced any of
these items, please see the transition director for a replacement.
Race Timing And Cut-Offs
The race will officially end 17 hours after the swim start. Aid station
stops, transitions, etc., will be included in your total elapsed time. Splits
will be recorded for each segment of the race. The following cut-off
times apply for each segment of the race:
Swim Cut-Off
The swim course will close 2 hours and 20 minutes after the last age
group athlete starts the swim. Each athlete will get the full 2 hours and
20 minutes to complete the 2.4 mile swim regardless of what time they
enter the water. Athletes who take longer than 2 hours and 20 minutes
to complete the swim will receive a DNF. IRONMAN officials reserve
the right to pull athletes off the course who exceed any established
course time cut-offs.
Bike Cut-Off
The bike course will close10 hours and 30 minutes after the last athlete
enters the water. The mid-point bike cut-off to start the second loop is

DNF the athlete if our course staff determines there is no possibility
of an athlete finishing the given discipline (swim, bike, run) before the
posted cut-off times based on an athlete’s location, time, and average
speed up to that point.
PLEASE NOTE: Athletes who finish before the midnight cut-off but have
a finishing time of more than 17 hours will be considered a DNF and will
not be eligible for age-group awards or for IRONMAN World Championship slots or rolldown slots.
MEDICAL AREA
The medical area is for athletes only; family members are not allowed.
Overcrowding in the medical area prevents the medical staff from doing
their job. For information on an athlete receiving medical treatment,
please wait ouside the medical tent for updates on your athlete’s condition.
Do not apply sunscreen, oil, Vaseline or lotion until after you have been
body marked. Transition closes at 6:30 a.m. All athletes must be out of

in the mouth, unlike capsules that must reach the stomach and be
digested before it starts to work. BASE also doesn’t cause the GI
upset that the casing of capsules often causes. Look for their tents
and tables near an aid station. To learn more and grab some before
the big day, watch this video.
• Failure to wear your MyLaps Pro Chip on race day, return your
chip after the event or pay the replacement cost of your lost chip
may disqualify you from future IRONMAN events.

SWIMSMART
Top 10 Checklist
An open-water swim in a triathlon is substantially different from swimming in a pool.
To alleviate stress, it’s important that you arrive on race day healthy, fit and prepared.
Here's a top-10 checklist to help get you ready.
1. Prepare for Race Conditions
•Race day should not be your first open water swim. Make sure
some of your training replicates real race conditions, including water
temperature, proximity to other swimmers and wearing a wetsuit if
needed.
2. Race in Shorter Events
• Being properly trained is the best way to reduce anxiety. If possible,
race in shorter events and clinics to prepare yourself for open water
conditions.
• For extra guidance, talk to a coach or your local triathlon club.
3. Learn About Course Details
• It’s important to prepare yourself mentally as well as physically prior
to race day. Thoroughly review the race website and pre-race communication to familiarize yourself with the course.
• Keep in mind, every body of water is different, so you’ll need to educate yourself on water current and surf conditions.
7. Warm Up on Race Day
• Arrive early enough on race day for a proper warm-up prior to the
start, preferably in the water.
• If you aren’t able to warm up in the water, spend between 5 and 10
minutes getting loose.
• Be sure to do some cardio activity, such as a light jog, to increase
circulation and prep your muscles.
8. Check Out the Course
• Get comfortable with the course by checking out water conditions,
the swim entry, exit layouts, along with turn buoy locations.
• Identify basic navigation points so that you know what you are swimming towards.
9. Start Easy – Relax and Breathe
• Don’t race at maximum effort from the start.
• Study the event timetable to plan for proper arrival and preparation.
• Relax and focus on proper breathing technique as you settle into a
sustainable pace.
4. Ensure Heart Health
10. Be Alert and Ask for Help
• As an athlete in training, you should take the proper steps to assess
your health with your physician.
• The American Heart Association suggests a 12-step screening process for competitive athletes. This includes a physical exam as well as
an assessment of your family history and personal heart health.
5. Pay Attention to Warning Signs
• If you experience chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, lightheadedness or blacking out while training, consult your doctor.
6. Don’t Use New Gear on Race Day
• In a race setting always stop at the first sign of a medical problem.
• If you or a fellow athlete needs help, just raise your hand to alert a
lifeguard or safety boat.
• Race rules allow for competitors to stop or rest at any time during the
swim.
• Feel free to hold on to a static object like a raft, buoy, or dock.
• You may also rest by holding on to a kayak, boat or even a paddleboard. As long as you don’t use it to move forward, you won’t face
disqualification.
• Focus on controlling as much as you can on race day.
• You should never race in equipment you haven’t trained in this is not
the time to test new gear.
• Make sure your wetsuit fits properly and that your goggles, swim cap
and other accessories work properly.
• Prepare for the unexpected with backups of all your gear.

Note: Bike aid stations are located approximately every 15 miles. It is your responsibility to slow for safe nutrient pick-up.
Call out your requirements clearly and in advance. Crews are instructed not to step across
the white line for handoffs. It is imperative
that you don’t toss bike bottles, cups, or nutrient bags on the roadside along the course.
A 5 minute time penalty will be assessed for
discarding litter outside the designated drop
zone.
LOCAL TRAFFIC LAWS
Please remember that members of the local
community use the bike course roads.
Realize that you are an ambassador for the
sport and the event and the impact of your
actions is far reaching. When you’re out riding
the course, please adhere to local traffic laws
and go the extra mile to be courteous and
respectful to the residents of the local community.
Please think before you act. When training,
please follow these suggestions:
Please ride single file. This is not just for your
safety but also to ensure local drivers can
get where they need to go without delay and
frustration.
Please obey traffic laws (stop at stop signs,
signal when turning, etc.).
Please do not use private property as a toilet.
Please do not litter. Keep your energy bar and
gel wrappers with you until you find a trash
can.
Please ask your friends and family members
to refrain from painting the roads along the
course. This defaces public property and is a
punishable offense.
Please wear a helmet during all official
activities when you are riding your bike. This
includes, competition, course familiarization
and training sessions
Bike Course Rules
and Instructions
Please understand that
based on permits for the
roads on the course and
the safety of athletes
involved, cut-off times
must be respected for all
IRONMAN events.
Every time a cyclist has an altercation with
a driver, that driver sees every cyclist on the
road as the enemy.
Every time a cyclist is courteous to a driver,
that driver will give every cyclist on the road
that much more respect and courtesy in
return.

year.
Anyone who violates this rule may be banned for life from any IRONMAN event. Violating this rule puts insurance coverage for the event at

24
USAT
Athlete
Excess
Medical Policy
The athlete excess medical coverage protects
each athlete for the day of the event at USATsanctioned races, camps and clinics. When
athletes purchase a USAT annual license or
one-day permit, a portion of those fees cover
the cost to provide them with excess medical
insurance. This coverage only extends to their
participation in a USA Triathlon sanctioned
event and is only available after the injured
party has filed with any primary insurance
policies. A deductible does apply for this
excess coverage.
If an athlete is injured while participating in a
USA Triathlon sanctioned event the following
steps must be followed:
• Athletes must file with their primary healthcare provider (i.e. United Healthcare, Blue
Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, traveler’s insurance, etc.).
• Athlete completes a medical claim form.
• For serious incidents or for athletes requesting coverage, the Race Director can provide
them with a medical claim form. The medical
claim form, along with all explanation of
benefit documents, should be sent directly
from the athlete to the insurance company
as indicated on the claim form.
Please email sanction@usatriathlon.org for
a copy of the form.
• Athletes will pay a deductible. All claimants
will pay anywhere from $250 USD (twohundred and fifty U.S. dollars) to $1,000 USD
(one thousand U.S. dollars) out of pocket and
possibly more for uncovered expenses.
Be advised that coverage may not apply to
each and every claim. Additionally, coverage
only extends to athletes that have purchased
a USA Triathlon annual license or one-day permit and were injured through participation in a
USA Triathlon sanctioned event. Please email
questions to sanction@usatriathlon.org.
All medical expenses incurred are the sole responsibility of the athlete and not IRONMAN.
USAT provides secondary coverage in qualified
circumstances. Failure to meet financial responsibility to local medical facilities will result
in suspension of future participation at IRONMAN events until accounts are settled.
Particular dangers include dehydration, hyponatremia, sunburn, exhaustion and injuries
sustained from accidents. Please ask for medical help if you have the slightest hint you may
need it. You will not be penalized for receiving
a medical evaluation. You will be withdrawn
from the race only if you require transportation, IV fluids or if medical personnel feel your
continued participation could result in serious
harm or death.
During events of extreme endurance, the
body’s pain threshold is raised, and you may
be in more trouble than you realize. The medical personnel will do all they can to keep you in
the race and assure a safe finish. Also, please
be attentive when taking water and sponges
from volunteers when you’re on your bike to
avoid the possibility of accident or injury to
yourself or another.
Please trim your fingernails and toenails prior
to the start of the race to avoid injury to other
athletes. Be especially careful to rinse your
goggles of any excess defogger solutions to
avoid eye irritation.
If you spend three months prior to the event in
a climate different than Madison, Wisconsin,
we suggest you consider an acclimation period
before the race. The chance of dehydration and
electrolyte imbalance can be reduced significantly by a proper period of acclimation.
If you are taking any medications, or have
any medical problem that may influence your
performance or your treatment in the event of
an injury, advise us of all necessary details well
in advance of race day.
At Athlete Check-In, you are required to notify
the medical team, in writing, if there is any
change in your medical status/condition after
your application has been processed. Failure to
do so will result in suspension of participation
in future IRONMAN events.
You are solely responsible for avoiding
medications that appear on the list of banned
substances as determined from WADA.
Feedback from previous IRONMAN contestants indicates we can never over emphasize
the importance of hydrating prior to and
during the event. IRONMAN’s Chief Physician recommends you begin hydrating heavily
several days before the race and drink enough
water so your urine is clear, colorless and copious by race day.
PLEASE NOTE:
Full disclosure of medical condition(s), general
health and surgical procedures within the
previous 12 months is required. Medical
consultation/clearance may be necessary from
an attending physician prior to participating in
the event.
In all cases, the final decision of medical consideration is at the discretion of the IRONMAN
Medical Director.
Stay with your familiar and proven routine
regarding training, nutrition and equipment,
especially just prior to the race. This also applies to pre-race dietary intake and medications. It is recommended you avoid an extreme
elimination diet. Adequate salt intake during
training and during the event is especially
important.

PLEASE NOTE THE SLOT ALLOCATION/ROLLDOWN POLICY
There will be 50 qualifying Age Group slots to the 2016 IRONMAN
World Championship (October 8, 2016) on offer at the 2015 IRONMAN
Wisconsin. Be prepared to pay the $890.00 USD entry fee with credit
card ONLY. We will NOT accept cash or check as a valid form of payment.
Note: Slot Allocation and Rolldown will be completed together in the
same ceremony for all IRONMAN events. The calculation to determine
the number of slots per age-group has not changed, we simply combined Rolldown and Slot Allocation into one ceremony.
ANTI-DOPING POLICY
In accordance with the World Triathlon Corporation Anti-Doping Policy,
all athletes accepting qualifying slots for the 2015 IRONMAN World
Championship and 2015 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship will be
required to sign, as a condition of entry, a Release and Indemnification
waiver, by which they agree to be placed into the IRONMAN Registered
Testing Pool for both in and out of competition testing, and voluntarily
consent to be governed by the published rule
http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/organizations/anti-doping.
aspx#axzz3BPHKA0NL
Beginning with 2016 IRONMAN qualifying events, athletes who qualify
for the 2016 IRONMAN World Championship will receive an official
IRONMAN World Championship Coin. This memento will serve to
mark and signify qualifying IRONMAN athlete’s accomplishments. We
applaud these individuals on their hard work and dedication as they
celebrate their journey to the premier event of the IRONMAN series!
SLOT ALLOCATION/ROLLDOWN POLICY
Athletes MUST claim their slot in-person during the IRONMAN World
Championship Allocation and Rolldown Ceremony on Monday, September 14 at 11 a.m. immediately following the Awards Ceremony. We
recommend being at least 15 minutes early. Be prepared to pay the
$890.00 USD entry fee with credit card ONLY. We will not accept cash
or check as a valid form of payment. Please Note: We advise that
athletes call their Bank/Credit Card company prior to Slot Allocation/
Rolldown to arrange for the charge.
Prior to race day, at least one slot shall be tentatively allocated to each
Age Group category (both male and female). Final Slot Allocation will be
determined on race day based on the number of official starters in each
Age Group.
If there are no starters in a particular Age Group, then that slot will be
moved to the next calculated Age Group within the gender. Final Slot
Allocation shall be representative of the actual number of Age Group
starters in each category in the race.
Slot Allocation and Rolldown will be completed together in the same
ceremony for all IRONMAN events. Please check the schedule of
events for time and location. Anyone who wishes to claim a Rolldown
slot must attend the IRONMAN World Championship Slot Allocation
and Rolldown Ceremony and claim their slot in person. If an automatic
qualifier in an Age Group chooses not to take the slot, does not attend
the IRONMAN World Championship Slot Allocation and Rolldown
Ceremony, or has already qualified, the next eligible finisher in that Age
Group may claim the slot that has rolled down.
If there are no more eligible finishers in a particular Age Group or no
other finishers in attendance at the IRONMAN World Championship
Slot Allocation and Rolldown Ceremony in that Age Group, that unclaimed slot will be reallocated to another Age Group within the gender
based on the athletes-to-slots ratio. The Age Group within the gender
with the largest athletes-to-slots ratio will receive the first reallocated
slot, followed by the next largest ratio receiving the second re-allocated
slot (if applicable), and so on.
