Ironman Announces Redistribution of Prize Purse Money for 2015

Zitat von competitor.com

“What we are increasingly coming to believe is that we are over-fragmenting our prize purses and putting too much of our prize money into periods of time when we don’t have Kona qualifying athletes competing,” said Messick. “In 2015 we will have nine North American Ironman races that will not have prize purses and will not have pro points and will not be races in which professionals can validate for Kona.”

Those Ironman races with no pro prize money are Boulder, Louisville, Wisconsin, Maryland, Lake Tahoe, Florida, Muskoka, Los Cabos and Lake Placid.
