There will be 35 Big Island slots, 20 State of Hawaii slots, and 24 International qualification slots for the 2008 Ford Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.
STATE AND BIG ISLAND RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS >>

There will be 50 qualification slots for the 2008 Ironman World Championship 70.3 in Clearwater, Florida.

  • Ford Ironman World Championship slots and Ironman World Championship 70.3 slots will be allocated by percentage of registered athletes with at least one slot allocated per age group containing registered competitors.
  • Athletes must be present at the awards ceremony to claim their slots.
  • If an athlete is not present or does not wish to accept his/her slot, it will “roll down” to the next athlete within that age-group/division. If no one in that division accepts the slot, it will go to the largest age group, within the same gender. In the event that two age groups have the same number of athletes competing for a slot, it will go the nearest age group. If there is an equal number of athletes left in the remaining age groups, the slot will go to the fastest finish time.
  • Slot allocations are subject to change pending final athlete registration on May 30, 2008.

SLOT DISTRIBUTION AND ROLLDOWN PROCEDURE

  1. You must be present at the awards ceremony in order to accept your slot. If you are not present to accept your slot, your slot will be forfeited. If you have reason to leave before slots are allocated you will need to adhere to the following procedures:

    a. Notify race director in writing of the reason you cannot be present and that if eligible you will accept the slot.
    b. You must also provide payment (credit card information or a money order in U.S. dollars) for the full amount of the entry with the written notice.
  2. A slot will “rolldown” to the next person (same gender) in a designated age group if the athlete originally earning the slot is not present or has declined the slot.
  3. Slots must be rolled down within the same age group and gender.
  4. Should a slot “rolldown” through an entire age group, that slot will be assigned to the age group within that gender having the largest number of athletes applying for an Ironman slot.
  5. Age group slots may not be assigned to pros and pro slots may not be assigned to age groups. NO EXCEPTIONS.
  6. If you win an age group slot, that slot must be used in the year it is assigned.
  7. If you win a slot, you should be prepared to pay all fees required (in US dollars) on site at the qualifying event in order to accept your slot.  Refund policies apply to all athletes accepting a slot.
  8. If you have qualified for an age group slot, but must drop from the Ford Ironman World Championship or Ironman World Championship 70.3, you must contact the race director, in writing, at the event where you qualified within 30 days to let them know you will not be accepting the slot. This slot can be rolled down only during this 30-day period, so please contact the race director and give another athlete an opportunity to compete. After 30 days, you must contact the Kona race office in writing to let them know you will not be participating in the Ford Ironman World Championship or the Florida office in writing to let them know you will not be participating in the Ironman World Championship 70.3.
  9. The race organization reserves the right to recall any slots that may have been awarded in error.
