Events: All events will have a PC/ID Open Division. However, there are courses that do not allow wheelchair accessibility on the run course due to road conditions.
Paratriathlon classification: PC/ID Open Division athletes are not required to request or receive any formal paratriathlon classification.
Medical documentation: A form or follow up correspondence will be emailed to each athlete prior to the race requesting the specific needs of each athlete. For more information, please contact the race specific email or AWID@ironman.com (for ID Open athletes).

Please note: If the PC/ID Open Division athlete needs to withdraw for any reason, the guide is not permitted to compete as an individual.
