“Athletes inspire new Ironman Race Transfer Policy”

The World Triathlon Corporation introduces a new “Race Transfer Policy” for all European and South African Ironman and Ironman 70.3 races. This initiative has been shaped by the opinions of hundreds of Ironman athletes.

Effective immediately, the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) will substantially change its withdrawal policy for all European and South African Ironman and Ironman 70.3 races (Ironman 70.3 Antwerp (July 22, 2012) excluded). For an administration fee of 29 Euro, athletes can transfer their race entry regardless of their reason, and all athletes already entered, or signing up for an Ironman and Ironman 70.3(1) race prior to December 31, 2011 are automatically enrolled.

WTC’s existing policy which allows for an athlete’s cancellation of a race remains untouched by the new program.

Athletes can still withdraw and receive a refund according to the existing rules. However, the race entries can now be transferred up until two months prior to the date of the race the athlete originally signed up for.

• it is not possible to transfer an entry more than once. Race entry transfers are 29 Euro regardless of the reason for the athlete’s transfer.

• entries for races before August 25, 2012 can only be transferred to races within the same calendar year. Entriesfor races after August 25th can be transferred to any race prior to June 30, 2013.
