Record sell out rates across all IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 events in 2015 may have brought about disappointment for those athletes unable to secure an event of choice. However despair not! There are still a number of routes to take part across events in the UK and Ireland, so if you’re still looking for a goal or practise event for 2015, here goes:
Team Entries
If you’re looking to ease into your IRONMAN journey, entering as a relay team made up of 2 or 3 individuals is the perfect solution. With each member completing either the swim, bike or run, the clock stops when the runner crosses the finish line to give the total time.
Relay team entries are available at IRONMAN 70.3 Staffordshire and IRONMAN 70.3 Exmoor.
Charity Entries
IRONMAN has a number of Official Charities linked with individual events who have guaranteed places in return for raising funds for a very worthy cause.
Whilst the thought of fundraising can bring with it the added pressure of securing sponsorship from friends, family and colleagues, it is also a fantastic way to keep you motivated through your months of training. Furthermore you may find that you’ll have more supporters at the event itself and at times of digging deep up those challenging climbs, you’ll be indebted to them for their support to push you to the finish line.
A full list of charities can be found on each event page from ironman.com. Each charity has different requirements so it’s worth contacting each of them to find out more or click via the following links for IRONMAN 70.3 Staffordshire, IRONMAN 70.3 Exmoor, IRONMAN UK, IRONMAN 70.3 Dublin and IRONMAN Wales.
Tri Club Program – NEW for 2015!
Register (free of charge) with IRONMAN’s TriClub Program by Friday 13th March and club members will have the chance to enter sold out events, IRONMAN 70.3 Staffordshire, IRONMAN 70.3 UK and IRONMAN 70.3 Dublin.
Following the success of the Tri Club Program in the USA, this exciting new category offers triathlon clubs the opportunity for its members to enter as individuals but their results are all combined as a team in a point scoring ladder system across Europe.
Clubs are assigned to a division based on the size of its membership size. Top clubs in each division will then receive an invitation to compete in the inaugural IRONMAN European Club Championships. IRONMAN 70.3 Staffordshire will also offer the top clubs direct qualification.
