TAMPA, Fla.\u00a0<\/strong>(June 10, 2019) \u2013 IRONMAN, a Wanda Sports Group company, announced today a new swim start protocol that will be implemented for the 2019 IRONMAN\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0World Championship. For the first time, the world championship event will utilize a wave start that separates the field into 11 groups. Like in previous years, the professional men\u2019s field will start at 6:25 a.m., followed by the professional women\u2019s field at 6:30 a.m. The PC\/Open Exhibition and Handcycle divisions will then begin their day at 6:35 a.m. The first age group wave will start at 6:55 a.m. and continue every 5 minutes until all athletes are in the water.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe swim start change is a reflection of, and reaction to, the extraordinary ability of our IRONMAN World Championship athletes,\u201d said Andrew Messick, President & CEO of The IRONMAN Group. \u201cWhile we appreciate the simplicity and iconic visual of the mass start, our primary responsibility is to create a fair race for all athletes. A single start each for age-group men and age-group women creates too much density on the bike course.\u201d<\/p>\n

The decision to move to an extended wave start was made following a comprehensive analysis of athlete data with the goal of reducing peak athlete density flowing onto the bike course. The new start times will not change the existing cut off standards for the IRONMAN World Championship \u2013 2:20 for the swim and 10:30 for the bike. Athletes will also still have to reach the finish line within 17 hours to be official finishers of the race.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are always looking for ways to improve the quality of our events in an effort to create a fair, safe and world-class experience for our competitors who work so hard to get to this start line,\u201d said Diana Bertsch, Senior Vice President of World Championship Events of The IRONMAN Group. \u201cThe IRONMAN World Championship is the pinnacle of endurance racing and our belief is that this change will allow for the highest competition to occur while enhancing the quality of the race.\u201d<\/p>\n
