The Beginning
1978
Participants gather on the beach before the start of the
inaugural ”Hawaiian IRONMAN Triathlon.”
“
Swim 2.4 miles, Bike 112 miles, Run 26.2 miles – Brag for the rest of your life.
–John Collins, IRONMAN Founder
”
From unlikely challenge to
international sensation
While stationed near San Diego in the mid-1970s, John Collins and wife, Judy, participated in multi-sport
workouts designed to break up the monotony of constant run training. During an awards banquet in 1977
for a Hawai`i running race, a lively discussion about the creation of a major endurance event in Hawai’i
occurred. To challenge athletes who had already seen success at a local biathlon (swim/run), the first
“Hawai`ian IRONMAN Triathlon” was born.

The Beginning
continuation from page 4
As the conversation continued, Collins
began playing with the idea of combining
the three toughest endurance races on
the island into one race. He decided to
issue a challenge. He proposed combining
the 2.4-mile Waikiki Roughwater Swim
with 112 miles of the Around-O’ahu Bike
Race (originally a two-day event and 114
miles), followed by a 26.2-mile run on the
same course as the Honolulu Marathon.
The event was unveiled at the Waikiki
Swim Club Awards Banquet in late 1977.
”The gun will go off about 7 a.m., the
clock will keep running and whoever
finishes first we’ll call the IRONMAN,”
Collins recalls.
The first female finisher maintained
second place for much of the race before
finishing fifth overall. The winning time
of 11:15:46, posted by Californian Tom
Warren, improved upon Haller’s firstyear mark, and Warren became a minor
celebrity when he and the race received
exposure in Sports Illustrated.
This larger-than-life depiction of the
race in Sports Illustrated generated
what Collins remembers as a ”shoebox
full of hundreds of letters from athletes
around the world who wanted to do the
race.” ABC Sports called Collins asking
his permission to film the 1980 event.
Collins agreed as long as ABC brought

With the men’s championship title
already claimed, ABC’s cameras zeroed in
on the women’s leader. A college student
from San Diego, Julie Moss’ lifeguarding
background helped her stay among the
early women’s leaders. After a strong
bike, she found herself with a sizeable
lead in the run. Her energy levels started
to dip in the last five miles, however, and
another San Diego competitor, Kathleen
McCartney, began to cut into Moss’ lead.
Moss managed to hang on, sometimes
appearing like a punch-drunk fighter
as she moved toward the finish line.
But with a little more than 20 yards to
go, her legs gave out and she fell to the
ground. She attempted to get up, but
her legs wouldn’t hold her. Rather than
give up, she crawled. Race officials and
spectators gathered around her, visibly
concerned for her well being, as well
as amazed by her courage. Although
McCartney passed her, Moss won the
hearts of those on-hand and millions
who later saw her determined effort on
television. ABC’s Jim McKay, among the
most experienced sports broadcasters
in history, called it the most inspiring
sports moment he had ever witnessed.
Instantly, competing in the IRONMAN
became such a hot ticket that organizers
instituted a qualifying system to keep
the race field more manageable.
By any measure, the IRONMAN presents
the ultimate test of body, mind and
spirit for professional and amateur
athletes. And as the IRONMAN Triathlon
has emerged into the mainstream,
the IRONMAN experience continually
transcends pure sport. It centers on the
dedication, courage and perseverance
exhibited by athletes who demonstrate
the IRONMAN mantra that ”ANYTHING
IS POSSIBLE®.”

The IRONMAN 70.3 Series
In 2006, IRONMAN announced the launch of a new event brand: IRONMAN 70.3. While
the Half-IRONMAN, consisting of a 1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile bike and a 13.1-mile run,
had been around for years, the IRONMAN 70.3 Event Series would now offer athletes
a consistent experience at races around the globe and for the first time ever, the
opportunity to qualify for a World Championship event at that distance.
IRONMAN’s Managing Director of Global Race Operations Steve Meckfessel stated,
”The IRONMAN 70.3 name distinguishes our events in quality and level of competition.
We believe IRONMAN 70.3 further energizes the sport and fully recognizes the distance
accomplished by our athletes.”
The excitement among the triathlon community continues to expand, with new and
seasoned athletes lining up to participate. When IRONMAN 70.3 was launched in 2006,
there were 17 events worldwide. That figure grew to 22 in 2007 and in 2008, athletes
had a total of 29 races that served as qualifiers for the 2008 Foster Grant IRONMAN
70.3 World Championship, Presented by Ford. Due to overwhelming demand, the 2009
Event Series grew to include 34 events. The global IRONMAN 70.3 Series has expanded
significantly over the past three years to now include more than 70 IRONMAN 70.3
events worldwide. In 2011, the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship moved to Lake
Las Vegas in Henderson, Nev., located near the Las Vegas Strip. Starting in 2014, the
IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship will rotate globally on an annual basis.
The accomplishment of crossing an IRONMAN 70.3 finish line, coupled with the variety of
unique and beautiful venues at which the events are held, makes for truly unforgettable
experiences. Whether athletes race just one or several IRONMAN 70.3 events each year,
they all embody spirit, passion and determination.
Starting in 2014, the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship will rotate globally on an
annual basis. Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, Canada provides a unique and ideal location for
the first international Subaru IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship. The 2015 IRONMAN
70.3 World Championship will be help in Zell am See-Kaprun, SalzburgerLand, Austria
and the 2016 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship will move to Mooloolaba, Queensland,
Australia.

The IRONMAN 70.3 Series
En 2006, IRONMAN a annoncé le lancement d’une nouvelle bannière : l’IRONMAN 70.3.
Bien que le demi-IRONMAN (composé de 1,2 milles à la nage, 56 milles de vélo et une
course de 13,1 milles) existait depuis plusieurs années, la série d’événements officiels
IRONMAN 70.3 offrait dorénavant aux athlètes une expérience de course standardisée à
travers le monde et pour la première fois, l’occasion de se qualifier pour un championnat
du monde sur cette distance.
Le directeur général des opérations mondiales d’IRONMAN, Steve Meckfessel, a déclaré :
«le nom IRONMAN 70.3 distingue nos événements en termes de qualité et de niveau de
compétition. Nous croyons qu’IRONMAN 70.3 dynamise davantage le sport et reconnaît
pleinement la distance accomplie par nos athlètes».
L’excitation parmi la communauté du triathlon continua à se développer avec des
athlètes, nouveaux et chevronnés, qui faisaient la queue pour participer.
Lorsqu’IRONMAN 70.3 a été lancé en 2006, il y avait 17 événements à travers le monde.
Ce chiffre est passé à 22 en 2007 et en 2008, les athlètes avaient un total de 29
courses qui leur permettaient de se qualifier pour le Championnat du monde Foster
Grant IRONMAN 70.3 2008, présenté par Ford. En raison de l’immense demande, la
série d’événements grandit pour inclure 34 événements en 2009. La série mondiale
d’IRONMAN 70.3 s’est considérablement élargie au cours des trois dernières années
pour maintenant inclure plus de 60 événements IRONMAN 70.3 à travers le monde. En
2011, le Championnat du monde IRONMAN 70.3 s’installait à Las Vegas à Henderson,
Nevada, situé près de la Las Vegas Strip.
À partir de 2014, le Championnat du monde IRONMAN 70.3 effectuera une rotation à
l’échelle mondiale sur une base annuelle. Mont-Tremblant, Québec, Canada fournit un
emplacement unique et idéal pour le premier Championnat du monde IRONMAN 70.3
international. Le Championnat du monde IRONMAN 70.3 2015 se tiendra à Zell am SeeKaprun, SalzburgerLand, en Autriche et le Championnat du monde IRONMAN 70.3 2016
se déplacera à Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australie.
L’accomplissement de franchir une ligne d’arrivée IRONMAN 70.3 combiné à la variété de
lieux uniques et magnifiques dans lesquelles les événements se déroulent, font de ces
événements une expérience inoubliable. Que les athlètes participent à un ou plusieurs
IRONMAN 70.3 chaque année, ils incarnent tous l’esprit, la passion et la détermination.

MONT-TREMBLANT
Information
Since the 18th century, people have
come to admire the beautiful landscapes
throughout the Mont-Tremblant region.
Mont-Tremblant, after all, is not only
a mountain: it is all the elements
that orbit around the highest peak in
the Laurentians. The greater MontTremblant area is, in fact, two mountains
and three villages, each with its own
particular appeal. Divided into five
sectors, the region consists of Mont
Tremblant Resort, the Village of MontTremblant, the Downtown area of MontTremblant (formerly known as St-Jovite),
the Mont Tremblant National Park and
the peripheral area. History
At the turn of the 20th century, the MontTremblant area became increasingly
popular as a summer playground.
Guesthouses, inns and hotels sprang
up. The surrounding forest, the pure
mountain air and the striking beauty of
the scenery drew wealthy Montrealers,
as well as Americans and Europeans.
In 1936, Joe Ryan, an eccentric young
American millionaire, was so taken by
the scenery from the summit of Mont
Tremblant that he decided to build ”the
biggest ski centre in the East”. Three
years later, Joe Ryan’s dream became
a reality. Mont Tremblant Lodge was
inaugurated and the ski resort proved to
be an immediate success.
With the onset of the 1950s with
its booming postwar economy, the
increasing use of the automobile and a
higher standard of living that allowed
for more leisure activity, the Laurentians
became the playground for middle-class
Montrealers and suburbanites.
Geography
The Ville de Mont-Tremblant is located
about 100 kilometres north of Montreal,
in the central part of the MRC des
Laurentides, and occupies an area of 235
square kilometres of the physiographic
8
area called the Canadian Shield. The land
is characterized by exposed rock, lakes
and forests, the valley of the Diable River,
tall hills and the Parc National de MontTremblant. Close to eight percent of the
territory consists of freshwater, including
almost 300 kilometres of watercourses
(rivers and streams) and over 100 lakes.
The quality of the natural landscape
makes this area much appreciated by
residents, nature-loving vacationers,
part-time residents and tourists.
Five Sectors of MontTremblant
Village of Mont-Tremblant
Mont-Tremblant Village is a year-round
paradise. Located on the shores of Lake
Mercier, this picturesque village offers
Bed & Breakfasts, cozy inns, interesting
boutiques and great restaurants. Its
proximity to the Resort and its sports
facilities make the Village a handy
pied-a-terre for the visitor. The Village
itself with its lakefront beach, art
gallery, cabaret-style theatre, summer
market and many cultural activities is
a treasure to visit, explore and savour.
Mont Tremblant Resort and
surroundings
The international reputation of Mont
Tremblant as a ski resort has not
wavered since its grand opening in
1939, mainly because of its natural
snow and the exceptional quality of
its runs. Over the years, its renowned
snowmaking capacity has added to its
stellar reputation. Today Tremblant, with
its golf courses, spa, Beach and Tennis
Club and more, has become one of the
most frequented four- season resorts
in North America thanks to the quality
of its infrastructure, the diversity of its
offering and the international prestige
of the sporting and cultural events that
take place here. The main attraction,
which inevitably charms every visitor, is
the pedestrian village where boutiques,
restaurants and pubs, art galleries and
mini-golf, swimming and ziplining, and
night life that ends when the sun rises,
provide something for everyone. Not
to mention the Versant Soleil, home
of the Mont-Tremblant Casino, a place
where the heavens meet the earth. The
Casino creates a friendly yet modern
and elegant haven that is in complete
harmony with its natural environment.
Downtown Mont-Tremblant
The Downtown, or Centre-ville, is the
hub of the Mont-Tremblant region, a
role it has been proud to play for more
than a hundred years. There’s so much
to discover—the beautiful old stone
church, the heritage buildings, the shady
terraces, the antique dealers and small
boutiques—and so many reasons to
extend your vacation. The many stores,
restaurants, and cultural and artistic
events make Downtown Mont-Tremblant
a place where life is good, all year round.
Mont-Tremblant
Park
National
Located in the Laurentides and
Lanaudière tourist regions, this huge
park is divided into three major sectors:
Le Diable Sector, La Pimbina Sector and
L’Assomption Sector. In this magnificent
park you can enjoy myriad outdoor
activities such as canoeing, kayaking,
hiking and camping.
Peripheral area
The greater region of Mont-Tremblant
is packed with places where you, your
family and friends will find as many
sporting and cultural activities to do
as there are days in your vacation…
and then some. The Domaine SaintBernard for instance, a protected
territory located in the heart of MontTremblant, offers 1500 acres of forest
and a vast network of trails for biking,
hiking, cross-country skiing and more.
The Velan Astronomy Pavilion, located
at the domaine, is the only observation
centre in the Laurentians. Stargazing
sessions are hosted every Saturday
night starting at 8 p.m.

a casino surrounded by the beauties of
nature. In fact, the diversity of elements
in the Ville de Mont-Tremblant is sure
to provide citizens, vacationers and
tourists with a wide range of services,
attractions and activities during spring,
summer, fall and winter.
Fans of outdoor sports will enjoy the
many activities available in the area:
golf, cycling, water sports, fishing,
rafting, tennis, climbing, horseback
riding, skating and cross-country skiing
are just some activities you can enjoy.
Since June 2014, visitors and residents
alike have been able to enjoy a unique
experience thanks to the guided Tyrolean
zipline tours consisting of five lines that
carry participants above the treetops.
This Ziptrek Ecotours installation offers
a unique view of the Laurentians as
it traverses the mountain from top to
bottom. The guides provide information
on environmental issues during the
short walks between the zip lines.
To relax after a day of activities, visitors
may choose to wind down at a spa,
savour a mouth-watering meal at one of
the many restaurants, or perhaps enjoy
the unparalleled nightlife.

Wanderlust Festival
For the first full edition to be held in
Quebec, participants of the festival will
gather to embrace their ”inner North”
during this great celebration of wellbeing and health. Imagine a yoga class
with live music on a mountain top, a

a meditative hike at sunset, a farm-totable dinner at 1300 metres of altitude
featuring locally grown produce, followed
by a late-night dance party fueled by
music provided by renowned DJs. These
are just a few of the activities that

Tremblant’s 24h
24 hours is not long: it is 1,440 minutes,
or 86,400 seconds, or again the time
between two sunrises. But the 24h
of Tremblant is a lot more: it’s two
relay events that support children’s
causes . . . two fundraising events that
contribute, through their beneficiary
organizations, to improvement in the
well-being of children who are sick or in
need. Tremblant’s 24h events have a real
impact on children’s lives!

L’IRONMAN est l’un des plus longs
formats de triathlon. Organisées dans
le cadre du circuit de la World Triathlon
Corporation, les compétitions IRONMAN
sont des courses particulièrement
exigeantes où les athlètes disposent
de 17 heures pour enchaîner 3,8 km
de natation, 180 km de cyclisme ainsi
qu’un marathon complet (42,2 km)
en course à pied. Pour une première
fois dans l’histoire d’IRONMAN, les
trois événements importants de
l’organisation (Championnat nordaméricain IRONMAN®, Mont-Tremblant
IRONMAN® 70.3® et le Championnat
du monde IRONMAN® 70.3®) auront
lieu au même endroit : la ville de MontTremblant. Des milliers d’athlètes
provenant d’une vingtaine de pays sont
attendus pour ces trois événements.
Offrant
près
de
3600
unités
d’hébergement réparties dans plus
d’une vingtaine d’établissements, plus
de 75 restaurants et boutiques ainsi
qu’un casino en pleine nature, la diversité
et la complémentarité des éléments de
la Ville de Mont-Tremblant font en sorte
d’offrir aux citoyens, aux villégiateurs
et aux touristes une vaste gamme de
services, d’attraits et d’activités, été
comme hiver.
Depuis juin 2014, vivez une expérience
incomparable grâce au circuit guidé
de tyroliennes constitué de cinq voies
surplombant la cime des arbres. Cette
installation de Ziptrek Ecotours offre un
point de vue unique sur les Laurentides
et parcourt la montagne du sommet à la
base, tout en prévoyant un volet traitant
d’environnement lors des déplacements
pédestres entre chaque tyrolienne.
Pour vous détendre après une journée
d’activités, vivez une expérience de
relaxation complète dans un spa et
profitez de l’incomparable vie nocturne
en dégustant un repas dans l’un des
nombreux restaurants dignes des plus
grands gastronomes.

Athletes will start the 1.2-mile swim on the golden sands of the
Beach & Tennis club, right beside the Tremblant pedestrian village. As
they swim the 1.2-mile loop, they will enjoy the view of the sheltering
mountains around this lovely, pristine lake. Lake Tremblant is a clean
freshwater lake, with relatively calm waters at this time of the year;
the average water temperature on race day should be a comfortable
65F/18C. The swim ends at Parc Plage, 300 meters from the transition
point, at a small beach near the Quintessence, the region’s most
luxurious hotels
*Wave Starts and Times are subject to change. Please allow

The ‘‘Average” IRONMAN
70.3 Athlete
”Average” is a word not typically associated with an IRONMAN 70.3 athlete.
Considering the accomplishments and abilities of professional athletes ranging from
Craig Alexander and Melissa Hauschildt to Age Group and Physically Challenged
athletes such as Dominique Benassi and Hector Picard, it will take quite a fitness
explosion for the media to refer to IRONMAN 70.3 athletes as, well… ”Average Joes.”
With this interest on extraordinary feats, it is easy to overlook the fact that most
competitors hold more in common with the general population than one might expect.
They are professors, attorneys, and firemen. The most common occupations seen
among athletes lining up in Mont-Tremblant are Business Owner and Management.
IRONMAN 70.3 Athlete Demographic:
Average Age:
41
Gender Ratio:
66% male, 34% female
Education (Post Secondary):
86 %
Occupation (Professional; Executive):
67 %
Household Income:
More than $100K
You could be thinking, ”I could do that, but what does it take to train?” Never fear,
there are average times for this, too. The average hours per week devoted to training
for IRONMAN 70.3 generally fall between 10 and 30-plus hours. Many competitors
also cross-train with weight training, stretching and yoga, among other activities.
Average training distances for the three disciplines:
1) Miles per week swimming: 7 to 8
2) Miles per week biking: 150 to 175
3) Miles per week running: 30 to 40

Physically Challenged
Division
Meeting The IRONMAN Challenge
The finest athletes from around the world
will test themselves at the IRONMAN 70.3
World Championship. A supreme test of
physical and mental toughness, events in
the IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 Series
require both courage and determination,
in addition to physical preparation.
While each athlete overcomes his or her
own personal challenges on the road to
becoming an IRONMAN or IRONMAN 70.3
finisher, some must overcome not only
the challenges that IRONMAN offers, but
the physical challenges life has imposed
on them as well.
Since 1982, several physically challenged
athletes have seen success in IRONMAN.
Among the physically challenged
participants, heroes have emerged
including Joseph Raineri, a blind athlete
from Delaware who became the first
physically challenged athlete to finish the
race, and the race’s first deaf competitor,
Michael Russo of New York, who
competed in 1984. In 1991, Jim McLaren,
a former Division I football player from
California who had lost the lower part
of his left leg in a motorcycle accident,
received worldwide attention when he
completed the race biking and running
with a custom-designed prosthesis.
In 1994, Dr. Jon Franks, a paraplegic
athlete from Venice Beach, California,
petitioned the organization to allow him
to compete in the race using a handcycle
for the bike portion of the event and a
racing wheelchair for the marathon. The
possibility of his participation stirred
debate in the triathlon community.
Some felt that Franks’ not actually
running the marathon portion of the
race would compromise the nature of
the challenge.
allotted cutoff times for each discipline.
In all, eight athletes competed in the
newly formalized PC Division. Among
them was Clarinda Brueck, a 43-year old
teacher from New Jersey. Brueck, who
was born without the lower portion of
her left arm, eloquently summed up
the significance of this competition. “I
want physically challenged children to
feel what I felt when I first completed a
triathlon,” she said. “For the first time
in my life, I felt I was competing with
and even excelling above able-bodied
individuals. That’s an empowering, lifechanging experience. And competing
in the IRONMAN Triathlon World
Championship emphatically allows you
to say, ‘If I can complete this race, there’s
nothing in life that I can’t do.’”
Although Franks did not finish the event,
millions watching NBC’s race coverage
saw his determination to climb the
last hill of the bike course and counted
him among the race’s true winners.
His efforts, as well as the growth in
the number of physically challenged
individuals involved in athletics, A formal division was established for
generated a groundswell of interest.
the IRONMAN World Championship in
1997 after years of careful research
The physically challenged division was and planning. In 2006, a formal division

1996 with demonstration participation IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship.
by wheelchair athletes.
There are two different categories
In 1996, John MacLean from Australia within the Physically Challenged
completed the event within the overall Division: handcycle and physically
time of 17 hours and, in 1997, became challenged. The handcycle division is
the first athlete to use a hand-cranked comprised of athletes who will use a
bicycle to finish the event within the hand cranked cycle on the bike segment
and a racing chair on the run. Due to the
level of interest from handcycle athletes,
qualifying races were established.
Athletes now must compete for starting
slots at IRONMAN 70.3 Buffalo Springs
Lake or IRONMAN 70.3 Cairnes.
Three physically challenged athletes
gained entry through the Physically
Challenged Lottery, to compete at this
year’s Subaru IRONMAN 70.3 World
Championship.

Volunteers
The IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship relies heavily on the support of the local community for
nearly 2,000 volunteers. The excitement and support for this event has surpassed all expectations
in its first year in Mont-Tremblant, as the community has responded overwhelmingly to the call for
volunteers.
Many volunteers for the event are triathletes who want to give back to the sport they love, especially
when it gives them the opportunity to witness world-class athletes compete. Others have only heard
about the race and want to be part of the experience.
The IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship has recruited nearly 100 race committee members who
contribute their valuable experience and knowledge to the event. They have assisted with recruiting
and training volunteers for many different areas, including aid stations, body marking, banquet
greeting and athlete check-in.
Volunteer opportunities exist for all ages and abilities. Schools, churches, civic groups and clubs are
among the groups that use the event as a team-building experience by volunteering together. Groups
and individuals alike provide first-class hospitality to athletes and spectators from around the world
and are part of an Internationally recognized event.

Course Summary
Nature lovers will be amazed by the beauty of the original IRONMAN bike course, which runs largely through forests and
mountains. The ride features gorgeous natural landscapes that will let you fully enjoy this beautiful part of the province!
In terms of elevation changes, Montée Ryan is the most consistent portion of the course, being relatively flat. Upon reaching
Route 117, you may expect an elevation change from 200 metres to 310 metres with a 6% grade. On the way back, you
will again find yourself on Montée Ryan and Chemin des Voyageurs, passing the Tremblant Resort and going towards the
Municipality of Lac Supérieur. Here, you’ll notice that the landscape becomes wilder, with more lakes and maybe even some
wildlife! Before long you will face the most challenging elevation change of the circuit, from 240 metres to 340 metres and a
grade of 12%.
Mont Tremblant takes pride in its bike course, which is 95% closed to other traffic and newly paved on 70% of its surface,
including: Montée Ryan, Route 117, Chemin des Voyageurs and Chemin Duplessis.

All athletes should expect that testing will take place both in and out-of-competition. The IRONMAN testig program is not limited and can
occur anytime, anywhere. All athletes participating in the 2014 Subaru IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship are encouraged to carefully
review the information pertaining to anti-doping included below.
Important Resources and Information:
IRONMAN encourages all athletes to know and understand their rights and responsibilities with regard to anti-doping policy and procedure.
The www.ironman.com website includes an Anti-Doping section. Downloads of rules, policies, and forms, as well as educational resources
and links, are available to you through this site. Notice of important changes and updates regarding the IRONMAN Anti-Doping Program will
be posted on this site.
The following on-line resources are available to all athletes and all athletes are encouraged to review these and other anti-doping resources
and information available through your National Anti-Doping Organization.
• IRONMAN Anti-Doping Rules are in full compliance with the World Anti-Doping Code (Code) and apply to each participant’s application for
entry and/or participation in IRONMAN events.
• The Code is the documentation that harmonizes regulations regarding anti-doping in sport across all sports and countries of the world.
The Code provides a framework for anti-doping policies, rules and regulations for sport organizations and public authorities.
• The 2014 World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List will be in effect for all IRONMAN testing.
•Certain medications, common beverages, and other ”over-the-counter” or otherwise legal products may contain banned substances. Athletes are fully responsible for knowing what substances are banned in accordance with the Prohibited List and for monitoring their compliance with the rules.
• If you need to check any medications an available resource is the Global Drug Reference Online: http://www.globaldro.com.
• Athletes who may be required to take a prohibited substance to treat a medical condition should consult with their National Anti-Doping
Agency (NADA) and/or National Federation (NF) to confirm if, under their rules and policies, you are requred to have a Therapeutic Use
Exemption.
Information Regarding Anti-Doping Control Procedures:
• Testing will be conducted in accordance with the WADA approved IRONMAN Anti-Doping Rules.

• All Professional and Age Group athletes are required to check with their National Anti-Doping Agency and their National Triathon Federation to determine if there are domestic or federation policies which may be different from those of the IRONMAN.

Because the 2014 Subaru IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship is classified as an International Event in accordance with the Code it may have stricter requiements for some athletes.
• Failure to adhere to the TUE requirements of your National Anti-Doping Organization or National Federation shall constitute a violation of the IRONMAN Rules.
• Athletes who require to have been approved for a TUE by their National Anti-Doping Agency should submit a copy of their TUE Approval to [email protected].
• IRONMAN advises that ALL US Athletes, by virtue of their USA Triathlon Membership, are required to follow the TUE Policies of the US
Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and should contact USADA to confirm if a TUE is required.
