Your need-to-know information
before race day
Dear Athletes,
Already five years since the launch of our IRONMAN and IRONMAN
70.3 Mont-Tremblant events and I can still feel the excitement as
I feel extremely privileged to welcome you here, once again, to the
heart of the Laurentians. Your decision to take part in an IRONMAN
MontTremblant event shows you trust our organization and for
this, I would like to thank you with all my heart. With your presence,
experiences and stories you are teaching us great life lessons. It is with
your commitment and determination that our team finds the desire to
surpass itself in delivering the IRONMAN DAY of your life!
In June, it is during the Mont-Tremblant IRONMAN Triathlon Festival
that over 5,000 athletes will gather to live the magic of IRONMAN
with the IRONMAN 5i50 and IRONMAN 70.3 races. In August, over
2,800 athletes will brave the 140.6 miles to become an IRONMAN.
MontTremblant is following up in its objective to become an
international triathlon training destination, and with the new aquatic
center, it’s an ideal place to continue your training - even in winter!
From June to September, we offer you a unique service point with
the Regional IRONMAN Mont-Tremblant Information Center (CIRIM),
located on the beach of Lac Tremblant.

MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD REFEREE
IRONMAN will operate under the “three strikes and you’re out” principle with
respect to BLUE CARD violations. DRAFTING AND LITTERING are the only two
violations that will result in a BLUE CARD violation and an athlete will incur
a 5-minute time penalty (to be served in the closest penalty tent, located
along the bike course). YELLOW CARD violations (stop and go penalty) also
require an athlete to stop at the closest penalty tent location along the bike
course. Any penalties incurred on the run course are to be served at the point
of infraction. While YELLOW CARD violations will not count against your three
strikes, IRONMAN Competition Rules still allow an athlete to be disqualified
for repeated rule violations should an athlete receive excessive yellow card
violations.
So that you understand the rules on race day, please take the time to read and
understand the rules in the Athlete Guide and the 2016 IRONMAN Competition
Rules.
Yan Therrien
The POSITION violations are summarized:
Always ride on the right side of your lane to avoid an ILLEGAL POSITION or
BLOCKING call.
HEAD REFEREE
Keep six bike lengths of clear space between your bike’s front wheel and the
rear wheel of the cyclist in front of you to avoid a DRAFTING call.
Always pass on the left of the cyclist in front of you; Never on the right to
avoid an ILLEGAL PASS call. Complete your pass within 25 seconds to avoid a
DRAFTING call.
DRAFTING VIOLATION
BLUE CARD
Passed athletes must be seen making immediate and constant rear progress
out of the drafting zone to avoid a DRAFTING call.

UNAUTHORIZED EQUIPMENT
Sorry, absolutely NO communication devices, MP3 players, cell phones, iPod
or other audio devices. There will be no exception to this rule.
!
OUTSIDE ASSISTANCE
Non-racers may NOT ride or run alongside you. This will result in a penalty
that could lead to disqualification.
!
TIME PENALTIES
Remember that even though DRAFTING and LITTERING are the only
violations that incur a five minute time penalty, you must go to a penalty
tent for any violation to have your number marked, and all violations count
toward your three strikes. There will be no penalty tents on the run. If you
are penalized on the run, the official will mark your number on the spot.

RED CARD
ANY COMBINATION OF THREE
VIOLATIONS WILL RESULT IN RACE
DISQUALIFICATION.
Triathlon is an individual event, and it is your responsibility to fully understand
the rules and avoid penalties. The referee’s ruling is final in the case of
POSITION violations, and there are no protests or appeals. Other common
violations include:
HELMET CHINSTRAP
Your chinstrap must be securely fastened whenever you are on your bike on
race day, i.e. as soon as you take your bike off the bike rack and only off once
the bike has been placed back on the bike rack.
Please treat other athletes, all volunteers, and your referees with courtesy
and consideration. Not doing so is UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT and may
result in disqualification. I sincerely hope you have a great race and achieve
all your goals.
I wish you a great race and sincerely hope you reach all your goals!

hotel room key, meds) behind at the start.
Make sure all your clothes fit in the bag. You will be able to drop it at

Always train with at least one other person (especially in the open
water swims). Register at CIRIM (IRONMAN Mont-Tremblant Regional
Information Centre) for swimming. There, you will have access to race and
training courses and can also borrow a swimming buoy.
While swimming, please wear a brightly coloured swim cap and ensure
that your family members and/or friends know where you are. Swim in
the designated area marked with cones.
When training, please bike on the shoulder without moving into the
traffic lane. Please be courteous and aware that the people sharing the
roads with you are people you will count on during race day to fulfill your
physical and emotional needs. Please ride in a single file, as biking side by
side is illegal. When running, use sidewalks.
Carry an ID with you when training on the bike and run courses.
SWIMMING IN LAKE TREMBLANT
Please make sure to train in designated lanes marked with white
buoys with a swimmer pictogram. Stop by the CIRIM to get all required
information and details on training courses.
The swim course utilizes a body of water that is open to the general public
for swimming, boating and other recreational and commercial activities.
Subaru IRONMAN 70.3 Mont-Tremblant presented by Sportium wishes
to caution all participants that it does not provide lifeguard services prior
to the event, and that all participants who swim prior to race day will do
so at their own risk. While we make reasonable efforts to inspect the
swim entry and exit points water hazards, the inspection does not take
place until just before the swim discipline starts. Participants are further
admonished to exercise cautiously and use common sense if they elect
to swim prior to the event and to be mindful of water hazards. Keep in
mind that this is a natural body of water and is subject to hidden hazards
including, but not limited to: currents, underwater obstructions, tides, rip
currents and indigenous marine life.
MANDATORY BIKE CHECK-IN
Mandatory Bike Check-In is on Saturday, June 25 from 2 p.m to 6 p.m. (no
bike check-in on race day). You will rack your bike at the designated area
marked with bib numbers. While bikes are stored in transition, athletes
will be allowed to cover their seats and handlebars only from inclement
weather. Full bike covers ARE NOT ALLOWED as they present a safety
hazard to volunteers and other competitors. Full bike covers will be
removed from any bikes left in transition once Bike Check-In is over. You
will have access to your bike from 6 a.m. to 7:15 a.m. on race morning,
but you will not be allowed to remove your bike from transition until the
start of the bike portion of the race. No loose gear will be allowed on the
ground next to the bicycles in transition.
You will not be allowed to remove your bike and/or gear from transition
after the race without your wristband affixed to your wrist. You must be

SWIM COURSE
SUMMARY
SWIM 1.9 KM /1.2 MI
Athletes will start the 1.2-mile
swim on the golden sands of the
Beach & Tennis club, right beside the
Tremblant pedestrian village. From
there, you will enjoy the view of the
sheltering mountains around this
lovely, pristine lake. Lac Tremblant is a
clean freshwater lake, with relatively
calm waters at this time of the year;
the average water temperature on
race day should be a comfortable
65F/18C. The swim ends at the beach
park (Parc Plage), 300 meters from
the transition point, at a small beach
near the Quintessence Hotel, the
region’s most luxurious hotel.
NOTE: Buoys are approximate on the
swim map. We suggest athletes view
the buoys the day before the race to
establish sight lines.
SWIM COURSE RULES & INSTRUCTIONS
• Athletes must wear cap provided by race.
• No aqua socks (neoprene booties) unless the
water temperature is 65 degrees Fahrenheit
or colder.
• Any assistance required during the swim will
result in disqualification if forward progress
was made. Athletes are permitted to use
kayaks and boats as aid, as long as forward
progress is not made. Course officials and
medical personnel reserve the right to remove
athletes from the course if determined medically necessary.
• When the use of wetsuits is forbidden,
clothing covering the neck, clothing covering
any part of the arms below the elbows, and
clothing covering any part of the leg below
the knee, is deemed illegal equipment and
is not permitted. Compression sleeves or
compression calf guards/socks may NOT be
worn during non-wetsuit swims, but may be
worn upon completion of the swim.
• The swim course will close 1 hour and 10 minutes after the final wave start. Each athlete
will have 1 hour and 10 minutes to complete
the 1.2 mile swim. Individual athletes who
take longer than 1 hour and 10 minutes to
complete the swim will receive a DNF. IRONMAN officials reserve the right to pull athletes
off the course who exceed any established
course time cut-offs.
• No fins, gloves, paddles, or flotation devices
(including pull buoys) of any kind are allowed.
• Swim goggles and facemasks may be worn.
For our US events only, snorkels may be
worn due to a medical condition supported
by documentation from a physician. Any
athlete granted permission to use a snorkel
will not be eligible for age-group awards
and will not be eligible for IRONMAN World
Championship slots or IRONMAN 70.3 World
Championship slots. Please note that while
we are allowing this usage during the 2016
season for our US events, beginning in 2017
snorkels will not be allowed under any circumstance for any IRONMAN or IRONMAN
70.3 event
• No individual paddlers or escorts allowed.
The course will be adequately patrolled by
boats, canoes and paddleboards.
Wetsuit Rules
Wetsuits may be worn in water temperatures
up to and including 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit
(24.5 degrees Celsius).
Athletes who choose to wear a wetsuit in
water temperatures between 76.2 degrees
Fahrenheit (24.55 degrees Celsius) and 83.8
degrees Fahrenheit (28.8 degrees Celsius) will
not be eligible for Age Group awards, including
IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship slots or
Rolldown slots.
Prohibited Wetsuit: De Soto Water Rover Wetsuits cannot measure more than 5 mm thick.
Wetsuits will be prohibited in water temperatures greater than 83.8 degrees Fahrenheit
(28.8 degrees Celsius).
2016 SUBARU IRONMAN 70.3 MONT-TREMBLANT PRESENTED BY SPORTIUM - ATHLETE GUIDE
Swimwear Policy
(non-wetsuit legal swims only)
Swimwear must be 100% textile material, which is
defined as materials consisting of natural and/or
synthetic, individual and non-consolidated yarns
used to constitute a fabric by weaving, knitting
and/or braiding. Simply put, this would generally
refer to suits made only from nylon or Lycra that do
not have any rubberized material such as polyurethane or neoprene. Swimwear must not cover the
neck, extend past the elbow, nor extend past the
knees. Swimwear may contain a zipper. A race kit
may be worn underneath swimwear.
Compression gear may be worn during nonwetsuit swims provided that it is made of 100%
textile material (no rubberized material such as
polyurethane or neoprene) and that material
does not extend past the elbows or knees. Any
compression wear that extends past the elbows or
knees will not be permitted in non-wetsuit swims
(this includes compression sleeves, compression
socks, or compression tights).
Swim to Bike Transition
After the swim, you will be directed through the timing
chutes to the swim to bike transition. Public nudity is
not permitted. We require you to be fully ready to race
before getting on your bike.
Personal nutrients are permitted if carried on you or
your bike. Sunscreen is available in transition. Any
athlete electing not to race must notify a timing official
immediately. Above all, the safety of each swimmer is
our prime concern. A full sweep of the course will be
made directly behind the last swimmer. Visual aid will
be provided by the lifeguards, divers, canoes, kayaks,
buoys, and aquatic crafts that line the course.

IRONMAN SWIMSMART
TOP 10 CHECKLIST
An open-water swim in a triathlon is substantially different from swimming in a pool.
To alleviate stress, it’s important that you arrive on race day healthy, fit and prepared.
Here's a top-10 checklist to help get you ready.
1. PREPARE FOR RACE CONDITIONS
•Race day should not be your first open water swim. Make sure some of
your training replicates real race conditions, including water temperature, proximity to other swimmers and wearing a wetsuit if needed.
2. RACE IN SHORTER EVENTS
• Being properly trained is the best way to reduce anxiety. If possible,
race in shorter events and clinics to prepare yourself for open water
conditions.
• For extra guidance, talk to a coach or your local triathlon club.
3. LEARN ABOUT COURSE DETAILS
• It’s important to prepare yourself mentally as well as physically prior to
race day. Thoroughly review the race website and pre-race communication to familiarize yourself with the course.
•K
eep in mind, every body of water is different, so you’ll need to educate
yourself on water current and surf conditions.
• Study the event timetable to plan for proper arrival and preparation.
4. ENSURE HEART HEALTH
• As an athlete in training, you should take the proper steps to assess
your health with your physician.
• The American Heart Association suggests a 12-step screening process
for competitive athletes. This includes a physical exam as well as an
assessment of your family history and personal heart health.
5. PAY ATTENTION TO WARNING SIGNS
• If you experience chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, lightheadedness or blacking out while training, consult your doctor.
6. DON’T USE NEW GEAR ON RACE DAY
• Focus on controlling as much as you can on race day.
7. WARM UP ON RACE DAY
• Arrive early enough on race day for a proper warm-up prior to the start,
preferably in the water.
• If you aren’t able to warm up in the water, spend between 5 and 10
minutes getting loose.
•B
e sure to do some cardio activity, such as a light jog, to increase circulation and prep your muscles.
8. CHECK OUT THE COURSE
• Get comfortable with the course by checking out water conditions, the
swim entry, exit layouts, along with turn buoy locations.
• I dentify basic navigation points so that you know what you are swimming towards.
9. START EASY – RELAX AND BREATHE
• Don’t race at maximum effort from the start.
•R
elax and focus on proper breathing technique as you settle into a
sustainable pace.
10. BE ALERT AND ASK FOR HELP
• In a race setting always stop at the first sign of a medical problem.
• If you or a fellow athlete needs help, just raise your hand to alert a
lifeguard or safety boat.
•R
ace rules allow for competitors to stop or rest at any time during the
swim.
• Feel free to hold on to a static object like a raft, buoy, or dock.
•Y
ou may also rest by holding on to a kayak, boat or even a paddleboard. As long as you don’t use it to move forward, you won’t face
disqualification.
•Y
ou should never race in equipment you haven’t trained in this is not the
time to test new gear.
• Make sure your wetsuit fits properly and that your goggles, swim cap
and other accessories work properly.
• Prepare for the unexpected with backups of all your gear.

BIKE COURSE
SUMMARY
BIKE 90 KM / 56 MI
The 90-km bike course will take you
through a beautiful natural landscape
punctuated by two rivers: the Diable and
Rouge. Montée Ryan is rather hilly with
some ups and downs at 5% or 6%. When
you get to Route 117, you will face a
change in elevation and reach the steepest
slope of the course where you will catch
speeds of about 80 km/h on about 165
meters. The rest of the 117 is relatively
flat, but if the wind picks up, it could
become your worst enemy! On the way
back, you will face the longest climb of the
course on Route 117; the same slope at
La Conception that got you to 80 km/h…
After a couple of kimlometres in the centre
of Mont-Tremblant, you will be led back to
Montée Ryan and then be directed toward
the Municipality of Lac-Supérieur via
Chemin Duplessis. This road runs along the
river La Diable where the most challenging
elevation change of the course will take
you from 225 meters to 340 meters with a
maximum slope of 8%.
Mont- Tremblant is proud of its bike course.
Approximately 95% of the course is closed
to all traffic and 70% of its surface was
newly paved in 2012.

19. MEDICAL SUPPORT
If you need minor medical assistance, a SAG
vehicle will pick you up and take you to the
medical tent, where you shall receive treatment. Alternatively, depending upon medical
emergency, ambulances will take you to the
nearest hospital to receive treatment. If you

the SAG vehicle will take you to the next aid
station.
There will be radios to contact ambulances
and medical assistance. If you have a problem, please go to an aid station for further
assistance. Cyclists still on the course at 5
hours and 30 minutes after the final wave
start will be disqualified and will not be
permitted to continue in the event.
There will be bike aid stations approximately
12- 15 miles apart along the bike course. It is
your responsibility to slow for safe nutrient
pick-up.
Call out your requirements clearly and in
advance.
Crews are instructed not to step across the
white line for handoffs. It is imperative that you
don’t toss bike bottles, cups, or nutrient bags
on the roadside along the course. A five minute

Please be self-sufficient.
Local Traffic Laws
Please remember that members of the local
community use the bike course roads.
Realize that you are an ambassador for the
sport and the event and the impact of your actions is far reaching. When you’re out riding the
course, please adhere to local traffic laws and
go the extra mile to be courteous and respectful
to the residents of the local community.
Every time a cyclist has an altercation with a
driver, that driver sees every cyclist on the road
as the enemy.
Every time a cyclist is courteous to a driver, that
driver will give every cyclist on the road that
2016 SUBARU IRONMAN 70.3 MONT-TREMBLANT PRESENTED BY SPORTIUM - ATHLETE GUIDE
much more respect and courtesy in return.
Please think before you act. When training,
please follow these suggestions:
Please wear a helmet during all official activities when you are riding your bike. This includes competition, course familiarization and
training session activities when you are riding
your bike. This includes competition, course
familiarization and training sessions.
Please ride single file. This is not just for your
safety but also to ensure local drivers can
get where they need to go without delay and
frustration.
Please obey traffic laws (stop at stop signs,
signal when turning, etc.).
Please do not use private property as a toilet.
Please do not litter. Keep your energy bar and
gel wrappers with you until you find a trash
can.
Please ask your friends and family members
to refrain from painting the roads along the
course. This defaces public property and is a
punishable offense.

official. On race day, bike tech vehicles will patrol the course to aid in
emergency repairs.
TECH TIPS AND OTHER DETAILS
Water conditions may vary prior to race day. We advise athletes to go
out for a test swim the days prior to the event. If you are using a new or
unfamiliar wetsuit, this is especially important to get more familiar with
the gear, the water, the course layout and to test for any wetsuit chaffing.
If you want to feel safer when doing your practice swim, OKÉ Triathlon
will have a limited number of swim buoy to use for training. You can
pick-up a buoy at their Technical Service kiosk. To accommodate more
athletes, reservation for these buoys will be offered on an hourly basis.

depending on the severity of the rule violation.
6. As a condition of participation in each IRONMAN® and IRONMAN®

the slot that has rolled down.

that unclaimed slot will be reallocated to another Age Group within the
gender based on the athletes-to-slots ratio. The Age Group within the
gender with the largest athletes-to-slots ratio will receive the first
reallocated slot, followed by the next largest ratio receiving the second
reallocated slot (if applicable), and so on.

ALL WORLD ATHLETE
The IRONMAN All World Athlete program is our way of rewarding age-group athletes’ hard work, dedication, and performance across IRONMAN and
IRONMAN 70.3 racing.
The program uses the IRONMAN Age Group Ranking system to determine which athletes have finished within the top 10 percent or better in their age
group each calendar year. This system allows athletes to generate points based on their finish time behind the first official finisher in their age group.
Athletes accumulate points for each race they complete. On December 31st, only the top three performances will count toward an athletes’ All World
Athlete status. This makes it easy for athletes to improve their ranking by simply racing more with IRONMAN. If the race is deemed a non-wetsuit legal
race, all athletes who choose to race in the wetsuit wave will receive base participation points in accordance with the All World Athlete age group ranking system.
An athlete can achieve All World Athlete status in one or all of the following categories:
IRONMAN, IRONMAN 70.3 and OVERALL (IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 combined).
There are three levels associated with the All World Athlete program:
GOLD (top one percent)
SILVER (top five percent)
BRONZE (top ten percent)
