RACE DIRECTOR UPDATES
Welcome to IRONMAN Australia and IRONMAN 70.3 Port
Macquarie and to the spectacular Greater Port
Macquarie region, an outstanding event destination and
a favourite of the IRONMAN Oceania team. We thank
Destination New South Wales and Port Macquarie-
Hastings Council for their continued support of this great
event that allows us to return to this spectacular location
each year.
The 2018 edition of IRONMAN Australia will continue to
include both a full distance IRONMAN, and a half
distance IRONMAN 70.3 on the same day with IRONMAN
70.3 Port Macquarie on the race day schedule.
Port Macquarie-Hastings Council is continuing to support
our event and this year have completed an overhaul of the
Town Green Finish Line area. A brand new path has been
installed for 2018. With some minor changes around town
this year to some road surfaces and pathed areas we have
another great venue. We thank Port Macquarie-Hastings
Council for their continued support.
All athletes will continue to receive a restaurant dining
voucher at registration which will give you the chance to
experience the amazing selection of dining options from
an array of local restaurants.
The Awards Ceremony and After Party will also see a
different format take place with a Monday afternoon
function. We have listened to feedback from 2017 and are
making this more welcoming to all friends and family
(more information is available on the new format later in
the AIG).
2
Although we have changes throughout the event site and
schedule there is one thing that remains consistent, and
that is the Swim, Bike and Run. We have made a couple of
minor course changes to allow for a smoother racing
experience however maintain a very similar course. It is
important to me as Race Director that my team and I
deliver these three disciplines at a high level as at the end
of the day, as an athlete, that is what you are going to
remember the most.
The IRONMAN Oceania team work hard to make this
event happen, and we are lucky to have the support of the
Local Organising Committee to put this event on each
year. Their support in not only helping deliver the event
however providing over 2000 Volunteers is an outstanding
achievement. Please make sure to take the chance to
thank as many volunteers as you can throughout the
event.
Feel free to stop me for a chat during Race weekend, any
feedback athletes can give in regards to the race is most
welcome. Enjoy your race day, I look forward to seeing you
all cross that finish line.
Cheers,
Ben Herbert
Race Director

 MESSAGE FROM RACE REFEREE

We are using the Triathlon Australia (TA) Race
Competition Rules, and this is a ‘NON Drafting Event”.
To minimise the possibility of infringing the rules on race
day and avoiding a visit to the Penalty Box, please
observe the following:
• Ride on the left side of the bike lane
• Keep 12 metres between yourself and the cyclist
in front of you – front wheel to front wheel
• Pass on the right of the cyclist in front (never on
the left)
• Complete your pass within 25-seconds
• If passed, drop back immediately 12 metres and
ensure you have dropped back the full 12 metres
before re-passing
Triathlon is an individual race and it is your responsibility
to fully understand the rules and avoid infringements. A
Technical Official’s ruling is final in the case of Drafting,
Blocking, and Illegal Pass infringements (Judgment Calls)
and these are not subject to either protest or appeal.
Following are the most common rule infringements:
Other infringements which may result in Disqualification
include:
• Offensive and unsportsmanlike behaviour,
• Public personal toilet,
• Outside assistance (from anyone other than a
race official),
• The use of electronic equipment including
telephones, including the use of earphones or
other communication devices.
Always remember to treat other athletes, volunteers and
officials with courtesy and consideration as they are
important in keeping the event safe and fair.
I sincerely hope you have a great race, enjoy the
experience, and achieve your IRONMAN goals.
Michael Thompson
Race Referee
IRONMAN Australia

 RACE DAY INFORMATION
TRANSITION AREA
Transition will be open from 4.30am – 6.45am. Please
ensure you leave yourself enough time on race morning
as all athletes will need to be out of Transition by
6.45am.
STREET GEAR BAG DROP
The Street Gear Bag Drop will be located at the exit of
Transition between 4.30am to 7.15am. Your Street Gear
Bag will then be transported to the Street Gear Tent,
located within Recovery and placed on your numbered
hook. Please ensure that you have the gear bag sticker
(located in your Race Kit) clearly stuck to the bottom of
the handle. Your Street Gear Bag will consist of any
clothes you require post-race. It is compulsory to use the
Street Gear Bag provided.
SPECIAL NEEDS BAGS DROP
If you require any special needs during the race, you will
be required to drop off your Special Needs Bags (red run
and blue bike) on Race Morning between 4.30am –
7.15am. The Special Needs Vehicles will be located to the
northern end of Transition.
It is your responsibility to drop the correct bag in the
correct Special Needs Vehicle.
RACE DAY SERVICES
Medical
Basic first aid is available throughout the event week. If
you require medical attention we recommend that you
visit Information or seek the assistance of event
personnel.
Medical staff will be situated in a variety of positions on
race day. These locations are as follows:
o Swim Start
o Swim Exit
o Transition
o Roaming Bike & Run Course
o Finish & Recovery
Basic first aid support can also be obtained at the Bike
and Run Aid Stations.
It is strongly advised that you have adequate personal
insurance regardless of whether you are an Australian
resident or from overseas. We highly recommend that
Australian residents hold valid private health insurance
and that international athletes check with their travel
insurance or personal insurance provider to confirm what
they are covered for.
13
Under Australian legislation, all non-Australian residents
are not covered for medical costs or ambulance
transport costs. If you have an accident you must pay for
your own medical expenses and transport. Hence it is
recommended you obtain adequate personal medical
insurance or travel insurance with the relevant coverage.
Sag Wagon
The Sag Wagon will collect athletes who are unable to
complete the event, or are unable to finish within the
course cut-off time. Collected athletes will be
transported to the closest Aid Station or back to
Transition/Finish Line.
Should you require a Sag Wagon at any time, please
wave down a motorbike official and they will contact
IRONMAN for Sag Wagon deployment. Alternatively
advise volunteers at the nearest Aid Station.
Please note delays in Sag Wagon transport are expected.
To assist with a prompt response, please do not move
from your reported location once a Sag Wagon has been
requested as this could affect their ability to locate and
transport you.
ATHLETE RACE BIB NUMBER
Wearing your race number bib is compulsory for the Run
Leg only. Your number must be clearly visible. You must
not fold, cut or manipulate your race number in any way.
ATHLETE TATTOOS
Wearing your race number tattoo is compulsory. Your
race number must be displayed on your right bicep with
the MDot logo at the top. Your category letter tattoo
must be displayed on your left calf.
The tattoos can be easily applied by peeling the clear film
off, placing the number face-down on your body, firmly
pressing the paper side with a damp cloth or sponge,
holding for 60 seconds and gently peel back the paper.
In the case your tattoo becomes faulty please see the
Information staff who will be able to assist by writing

 VOLUNTEERS
The 2018 IRONMAN Australia & IRONMAN 70.3 Port
Macquarie requires the support of over a 2000
Volunteers in order to deliver the event.

Our team of Volunteers at the event will contribute a

combined total of around 10,000 Hours to assist, support
and motivate you from the start to the finish of your
IRONMAN journey.

We encourage you to say THANK-YOU to the volunteers

whenever possible! Without the Volunteers, we simply
would not be able to run any IRONMAN events.

IRONMAN also would like you to thank the Port

Macquarie Local Organizing Committee for their
continued effort and support.
