World Triathlon Corp (WTC), owner and organiser of Ironman 70.3 UK, has announced that the race is almost full for 2013; and any athletes who wish to race should enter in the next few days to secure a place.
Places in the event may still be available via the event’s two official charities, Rotary and Scope, who will subsidise the entry cost in return for fundraising by athletes, as well in conjunction with Nirvana Europe, the official travel partner, as part of an event package.
Ironman 70.3 UK will be held on 16 June 2013 at Wimbleball Lake. The backdrop of Exmoor National Park, along with the challenges of the infamous bike course, will attract another sell out field. With Ironman UK 2013 selling out in record time, it will leave Ironman Wales as the only race with places still available in the WTC’s UK calendar for 2013. WTC also notes that entries for the IM Wales race in September 2013 are also well ahead of last year.
Kevin Stewart, Managing Director of Ironman UK said “We are delighted that Ironman 70.3 UK is selling out ahead of last year, as did the full distance Ironman UK. We have had so many athletes begging for a place in Bolton that we want to make sure athletes realise this isn’t a ploy! The general entries for Wimbleball will be gone very soon as we already have over 95% of places sold.”
