Registering as a professional at any race during the Qualifing Year (September 1 trough August 31) means, you must race as professional in IRONMAN Hawaii in that Qualifing Year. An athlete that qualifiers for IRONMAN Hawaii as an age group athlete and is determined to be a professional during the Qualification Year of the event, will not be allowed to compete in IRONMAN Hawaii, as he has not qualified for as a professional triathlete.

Hawaii-Qualification:

IRONMAN Regensburg allocates 50 slots for the IRONMAN World Championship 2012.

All competitors who wish to make use of their qualification slot have to be present at slot allocation taking place June 18, 2012 at 12:00 am. As not each competitor will make use of his slot, other athletes will advance in the respective age group till all slots are allocated.

The entry fee for Hawaii 2012 is US $ 650 (as September 2011) and has to be paid during the Slot allocation in Regensburg on June 18, 2012, in cash Euro only (final assessment for Euro will be published in teh race week).

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.*

Regulation from World Triathlon Cooperation (WTC):

Starting in 2009, the Ford Ironman World Championship and all qualifying events will implement both the International Triathlon Federation and USA Triathlon´s Age Group Competition rule, which states that “All age group athletes must participate and compete in the age group division corresponding to the athlete´s age on December 31 of the year of the event.”

*Final slot allocation will be posted on the event website and at the race site the day before the race. The number of slots per category might be slightly changed later on based on the exact number of applications per category.
