Quote | Reply
Any one remember what year IM started giving race/finisher flags/banners?

Whatever year that those races stopped giving posters. Seems in the past every race had a poster until the flags started showing up. But I don't recall ever getting both the flag and the poster. Of course, some Ironman races outside of the US give neither.

I bought a poster or two. Were they giving them away? If they were giving away finisher flags, were they giving them away before the race?

Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

If the race had them, they gave them to you at check-in and were free. I typically ask for a second poster and they've always handed it to me. To get the posters home, I wrap them around the tube of my travel pump and throw them in the suitcase. Works like a champ.

What race was it that you bought a poster?

I'm looking at posters from IM Lou 2011 & 2012 as well as Raleigh 70.3 2013 right now. As best I recall, I bought them all.

Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

2014 Choo - no flag
2015 IMLP - flag
so my experience is they started in 2015.

Never received a flag for a 70.3 though.

Got a flag from the Florida 70.3 last year. No poster there. I think the evidence suggests there is no rhyme or reason to the flag thing.

IMLOU last weekend was the first time I received a flag that said finisher. We also got posters when checking in.
