Previous Results
New York is a new race on the Ironman calendar, so there is no data if this is a slow or a fast course. It is designated the North American regional championship, with the winner getting 4000 points and a total price purse of 100.000$ (25.000$ for the winner).
Male Participants
As a regional championship with relatively good price money, New York managed to draw a large field with some strong athletes (even if the “rock stars” are already focusing on Kona). The top seeded athlete is Jordan Rapp:
