Bike check-in

The Bike check-in will take place at the main entrance of the Transition Zone area and will be conducted

by the official referees. They will check your brakes, handlebars, gear shifters, and helmet etc. in

accordance with the WTC and the Spanish Triathlon Federation rules. Please make sure that your bike

label is clearly put under the saddle, visible from the left side and that the 3 adhesive labels are correctly

placed on your helmet (front and both sides). In case of any mechanical problems, you can get

assistance from the official bike tech support that is also available at the entrance of the Transition

Zone.

Remember to ensure the following on your bike:

- Enough air in the tubes?

- Front and rear brakes are operable?

- End plugs are on handle bars?

- Wheels enough tightened?

- Changing gears?

- No loose headsets?

- No stripped cables?

We advise the athletes to bring extra inner tubes/ tires, chain link and a pump. A mobile bike tech

After the official check-in you will need to place your bike in the designated bike racks, numbered

according to race/ bib number. Please rack your bike by hanging it from the front of the saddle.

Bike check-in closes at 18:00 hrs. After this time, no more bikes will be accepted into the Transition

Zone.

Athletes will have access to their bike on race morning, but they are not allowed to remove their bike

It is a two-lap-course of 1.9km with a short running passage (about 20m) between the two laps.

Please remember to wear your numbered swim cap (race number at the left side) and timing chip (at

your left ankle). There will be no body marking on race morning.

Swim cap colors

Pro Men: Yellow

Age group Women: Pink

Age group Men: Orange

Some athletes might wear a different color swim cap in order to be recognized by the press/

organization.

Drop off warm-up/ swim bag

Once you are on the beach, you will have to drop off your warm-up/ swim bag in the changing tent.

(TZ1). Volunteers will be available to take your bag and to offer Vaseline and sun cream if needed.

Compulsory use of official beach entrance and timing chip control

After the warm-up bag drop each participant must enter the beach through the official entrance that

opens at 06:15hrs. and must pass the chip control at the beach, before entering the start chute.

Volunteers will be available at the beach in case you have any last minute doubts/ problems.

Start

There will be one mass start, all athletes will have the same start time. The beach will be divided in

sections and you will be able to select the swim time that suit your pace. The Pro athletes (males –

females) will start in front.

The signs placed at the swim start area will indicate the different groups:

Predicted swim time under 1 hour

Predicted swim time under 1 hour 10 minutes




Advice

- Try to relax and visualize the swim segment.

- Ensure to wear the numbered swim cap provided to you at registration and check your goggle strap.

- If you are not a pro-athlete, try to consider your starting position; i.e. stronger swimmers to the front,

weaker swimmers towards the back.

- The first turn is rather close to the beach; do not swim too closely to the buoy where you could get

crushed by other swimmers.

- It is the responsibility of the individual athlete to be familiar with the swim course. The own swim

training transfers organized the week prior to race are a good opportunity to be introduced to the swim

course (more information at the Information Centre).

- There is often a current in Playa Grande bay, which may be helpful!

- Upon exiting the water (after the first and final lap), ensure that you still have your timing chip in place

ahead of passing the timing mats. Should you need a replacement chip, please approach the volunteers

at the beach start.

- If you have any problems during the swim, simply signal to the rescue boats and they will come and

assist you.

- Cut off time for the swim section: 09:20 am

4.3 Swim/ Bike transition

After the swim, you will run towards the transition area. Wetsuits may be opened and be stripped off to

the hips, but can only be removed entirely inside the transition tent. You must collect your own Bike bag

(blue) outside the changing tent on the beach (TZ1) and change in the tent (there is a separated area

available for women). Nudity outside the tent is not permitted. Volunteers are available to help with

sunscreen protection. When you exit the tent, leave your bag at the drop off area at the exit of the tent.

You will then run up to the bike parking where you will find a water station and buckets of water to rinse

your feet. You then approach your bike, first fasten your helmet and then remove your bike from the

rack and push it to the exit (at the official finish tower). Check your race number: it must not be altered

and should be clearly visible on the back affixed with safety pins or elastic band. Also check your chip

band. If you have lost your chip or race number, you must collect another one in the Information Point

near the Finish area. You may begin riding once past the exit point at the official finish tower.

In case of abandoning the race during/ after the swim, please be aware that you cannot remove your

bike and bag until the last swimmer has left and started the bike segment. You can only leave the

transition zone with your bike and bag, once you have contacted the Organization in the Information

Point in the Transition zone area.

Advice - In case of last minute mechanical problem, the race bike mechanics are available in the Transition zone - In case you have forgotten/ lost any race gear, please contact the Information Point in the Transition zone area. We might be able to lend you spare equipment.

4.4 Bike course

all around the island, with a total climb of 2550 above sea level. Most of the bike circuit is closed to

traffic in the cyclists’ direction, between the leading car and the last supporting vehicle, with the

exception of some clearly marked sections. Please be careful at all times. Obey all police officers under

all circumstances

Ironman Lanzarote yellow arrows will be placed on the course one week before the actual race.

Police/marshals will be at all crossings during race day. In case of dangerous sections (downhill, wind,

narrow roads, etc.), “slowing down” signs will be installed.

Be aware that you may encounter strong side winds, especially in the northern part of the island. For

There will be a mobile Bike tech team on the bike course, as well as bike assistance at fixed point on the bike course (see chapter 5).

Ten aid stations will be available on the bike segment including the special feed & one water station

(please also see section 4.9 of this Athlete guide). A sign will indicate each aid station 400m in advance.

4.5 Bike/ run transition

When you come back from the bike course, please dismount in the entrance of the bike chute (at the

official finish tower), pass the timing mats, proceed on foot (with your helmet fastened) and park your

bike according to marshals’ indication. Bikes will be parked according to athletes’ bike finish time in TZ.

Volunteers will be assisting participants in parking their bikes in the correspondent rack.

You will then continue to the bag area where you will have to take your own bag (volunteers will not hand

you the bag!) and run into the changing tent on the road (TZ2). After changing and wear your running

gear, please leave your bag at the drop off area in the exit of the tent.

Volunteers are available to help with sunscreen protection in the transition tent.

It is not allowed to take your bike before the bike cut off time (18:30 h.). If volunteers are not too busy, it

is possible to get your transition bags. The official bike check out starts at 18:30hrs in the main

entrance of the Transition Zone. It is not allowed to take your bike out of the Transition zone another way

than through the main entrance.

4.6 Run course

The run course is 42.2k and consists of 3 laps: first two of 15.96 Km. each up to Playa Honda and then

one lap of 10.26 Km. This course is run on the flat seafront along the Avenida de Las Playas in Puerto

del Carmen. The first kilometer on the run course is on the bike lane, after that on tarmac.

Athletes will be handed a colored elastic band at the completion of each lap. It is the athlete’s

responsibility to receive the wristbands in order to be classified as a finisher by entering the finish area.

Please remember to pass the timing mats at the run course turning points. If you do not pass the mats,

you will miss your split time (this will lead to disqualification).

- Cut off time for the marathon is 24:00 hours (midnight).

4.7 Finish

We allow you to cross the finish line together with your family, but please be careful not to block the way

to the participants running behind you. Remember that everyone crossing the finish line would like to

have a great finisher picture! Families are not allowed to stay inside the Transition zone and therefore

they will be guided to leave the gate at the finish line as soon as the athlete has finished.

As you cross the Finish line, you will get your finisher medal. Massages provided by the students of two Massage Therapy schools will be available in the TZ1 Tent on a first-come, first-serve basis. The race restaurant will be available to all finishers for refueling and relaxing. In the Information Point you can collect your official Finisher polo & wristband, and the timing slip by returning chip & Velcro band.

An Online Finisher Certificate will be available in the website www.ironman.com soon after the race.


Red Cross assistants will be at the finish line to provide medical assistance. The medic facility will be

next to the finish line. No family members/ relatives are allowed to enter this facility.

4.8 Bag and bike check out

You can collect your Transition bags (from the beach changing tent) and bike only after the bike cut off time at 18:30pm. This is to keep the transition area clear for the athletes still racing. Your bike will be placed according to your bike finish time; please check your timing slip to find where your bike is parked. Volunteers will be available to assist you finding your bike. Please note that there is only one exit for the check out, at the end of the Transition Zone (opposite side of finish tower), where you need to show your race number to leave with your equipment. Bikes need to be collected from the Transition zone no later than 00:30 hrs. The Organization will not take any responsibility for any loss after that time. Bikes that will be transported back to Club La Santa after the race (only for Club La Santa guests) will be placed at the Badminton Hall (security will be available at all times). These bikes must be collected between 9-13 hrs. on Sunday morning after the race (please remember to bring your ID!).
