Slot Allocation Policy
At least one slot shall be allocated to each five-year age group category in which any age group athlete sends in an application, both male and female, per the age group categories listed above. If there are no athletes entered in the race in a particular age group, then that slot will be moved to the largest populated age group in that same gender. For additional age group slots, slot allocation shall be representative of the actual number of age grouper applicants in each category in the race. As an example, if 8% of the age-group applicants are females 40-44, then 8% of these slots would be allocated in the female 40-44 category.
Post Race Procedure
The Ironman 70.3 World Championship fee will be processed from your supplied credit card in the equivalent £/sterling amount based on the exchange rate on Race Day itself. (PLEASE NOTE THAT AMERICAN EXPRESS CARDS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED).
No photos are required.
Roll Down
You must be present at the Awards Ceremony in order to accept your slot. If you are not present to accept your slot, your slot will be forfeited, in accordance with WTC rules. A slot will roll down to the next person (same gender) in a designated age group if the athlete originally earning the slot is not present or has declined the slot. Slots must be rolled down within the same age group and gender.
Should a slot roll down through an entire age group, that slot will be assigned to the next age group within that gender having the largest number of athletes applying for a slot. Age group slots may not be assigned to pros and pro slots may not be assigned to age groups. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you win an age group slot, that slot must be used in the year it is assigned.
If you win a slot, you should be prepared to submit a completed application and all fees required on site at the qualifying event.
The race organization reserves the right to recall any slots that may have been awarded in error.
Age Group
Please note that the WTC requires age group participation to be based on age on 31st December 2010.
Prizes
Please note that IRONMAN UK will NOT post out prizes or trophies not collected from the Awards Ceremony. Failure to collect from the Awards Ceremony will forfeit any rights to prizes/trophies.
