Who competes in Ironman Triathlons?
In general experienced triathletes with a long training history compete, as many years of training are required to undertake an event of this duration. The biggest age group is 30-40years, but don’t be surprised to see athletes in their 50’s and 60’s. Ironman competitors often need to complete specified half ironman races and place high enough in their age group to earn a coveted ironman spot.
