COVID-19 Options
Europe , Middle East & Africa

 

Latest updates

We hope you and those you care about are well and healthy in these continued challenging times. Like you, we are all very much looking forward to going back to in-person racing and seeing you at a starting line in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has proven to be extremely dynamic with rules and regulations changing constantly. Our teams have been adapting based off of this and working to evolve operational plans in a manner consistent with local community objectives and within the guidelines and recommendations set by public health entities as it relates to COVID-19.

Each event is evaluated and assessed on their own unique set of circumstances but postponements or cancellations are of course extremely disappointing.

9. I have already transferred events in 2020, how do I know which race/country will issue my voucher? 
If you have transferred your slot from one race to another and especially if you have switched race countries in the process, this will impact the terms and conditions that apply to you. 

Our Terms and Conditions are defined for each athlete depending on the race and country that you initially registered and paid for. This means that you would need to refer to the voucher Terms and Conditions for the very first race you signed up for before any transfers, deferrals, postponements, or cancellations. 

For example: If you registered and paid for 2020 IRONMAN 70.3 Marbella in Spain and got transferred to 2021 IRONMAN 70.3 Aix-en-Provence in France, which is now postponed or cancelled, you would refer to the Spanish Terms and Conditions, as this is the initial race country you registered for.  

In case of doubt, please contact the local event team that you have currently signed to and we will assist you with a list of races your 2021 voucher would be eligible for.  

Terms and Conditions

You will find below the voucher terms and conditions of each race host country. Please consult the terms and conditions of the event you initially registered for. See examples below:

Example: I am registered for the 2021 IRONMAN Barcelona, I must refer to the terms and conditions of Spain.

Special case : I was initially registered to 2020 IRONMAN Wales, then I transferred my registration to 2021 IRONMAN France. I must therefore refer to the terms and conditions of UK.
