Rolling swim start auf Lanza



What is the main reason of this change?

The main reason and above all, is the safety of the athletes. The rolling swim start prevents crowded starts, in our case with more than 1,600 athletes swimming too closely together, providing a safer and more enjoyable experience for all. Also, triathletes will swim alongside participants closer to their age making the swim segment and transition smoother and more spaced.

Some of our athletes have been asking for this change in our post-race surveys and the IRONMAN Group has also suggested this change over the past year. IRONMAN implemented the Rolling Start in the World Championship in Hawaii 2019, and IRONMAN Lanzarote was the last event to continue with the mythical mass swim start. With this change, IRONMAN Lanzarote closes a circle in 2020.

¿How will the swim start take place?

The swim start of the IRONMAN Lanzarote, on May 23rd, 2020 will be as follows:

07:00 - MPRO
07:05 – FPRO
07:07 – PCOPEN
07:10 – M18-39
07:12 – M40 – 44
07:14 – M45 – 49
07:16 – M50+
07:18 – F18 – 39
07:20 – F40 – 54
07:22 – F55+

Na toll, dann bin ich ja die letzte im und aus dem Wasser
