The safety of all athletes on course is our priority. Our event team considers each race/event individually to determine the entry requirements. Due to course conditions (Multi-loop/multi-distance run course, too hilly on bike course and too narrow) IRONMAN Australia is not suitable to be completed using wheelchairs (racing and non-racing)/handcycles (for bike events) or with prams. While this race is not suitable, our goal is to make everyone’s racing dreams a reality so if you would like information on other events where the course is able to accommodate wheelchair participation or any other course accessibility needs, please email us at: [email protected]
