Lottery to Ford IM WC
Another way to get to Hawaii…
On 20 May Club La Santa and Lanzarote will host the 15 th edition of Ironman Lanzarote. More than 600 athletes have already registered for the great event, and most hope to qualify for the Ford Ironman World Championship that takes place in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii in October.
Indeed, in order to race in Hawaii, triathletes need to qualify at one of the qualifying races that take place all over the world.
In Lanzarote, we have 60 slots available.
However, a few athletes will have the opportunity to participate in the 2006 Ford Ironman World Championship through a lottery. A different way, definitely…
The Ford Ironman World Championship selects 200 athletes each year to participate through a lottery system. One hundred and fifty of the athletes will be selected from the United States applicants and fifty athletes will be selected from other countries. The Ford Ironman World Championship is one of the most in demand athletic events in the world. Qualifying gets more difficult each year, so the lottery is another option to enter the race.
So, any of you who would like an extra opportunity to get to Hawaii… why not give it a try? For more information, click here.
