Now as for cutting 20% how do they do that.

And does that 20% already take into account people from Canada who won't be able to cross the border???


it would seem to me that the race field would sort of self-seed, esp if proof of vaccination was required. in our own poll, more than 20 percent said they are not in favor of a vaccine passport. so, you may have close to or more than 20 percent defer to another race.


Also almost no Canadians would be fully vaccinated by the IMLP date and our border will be shut for vehicular crossing. So the only way will be to fly to a US airport and then rent a car and fly back and 2 week quarantine, but you still won't be able to race IMLP on single dose. So almost no Canadians will be able to attend

My second dose is scheduled for the day after the race.
There was talk of possibly being able to get it a bit early. I was hoping to be able to grab a cancellation to get it done early.
Right now, I can't even leave my province. This is so frustrating. Not only do I have to worry about if the race will go ahead, but whether I will be able to leave my province and cross the border. I could possibly swing a 2 week quarantine upon return, but my husband wouldn't.
I signed up to race with a friend, which is the only reason I haven't yet deferred.
I'm also wondering if transferring to IMMT would be a possibility if the race doesn't go/border doesn't open. Unfortunately my friend racing is American so that won't work for us racing together.

I was very optimistic with the vaccine and the numbers we have had here in my province. Until a few weeks ago. Now we are in the worst situation since the beginning of the outbreak.

I guess I'll go send a similar email now. I just hope they don't give me shit about it because technically this was already a deferral from St George 2020.

Mine was a deferral from LP 2020...and a free entry at that. They just state this is the last time. No more!

Can't leave my province (NS) either and no real end in sight of that. Re IMMT, keep in mind that race most likely won't happen this year either. Quebec, Ontario, and basically all of Canada have been pretty vocal about how there will be no large events this Summer, and that what we can hope for by mid-late Summer is to have family picnics, etc., and by Fall, maybe small social gatherings. That is literally what they have said. Thats a far cry from an Ironman.....

How do you know?

It was discussed at length on the Board Meeting that just concluded. The Village required 2 things from IM 1) 20% reduction and 2) vaccine requirements for athletes, volunteers. Also spectators (I believe, some parts was hard to listen) in designated IM areas.

No one is allowed on the beach expect athletes. Athletes line up on Mirror Lake Drive

No change tents, no body marking, no wet suit peelers, etc. Pretty much self service

Reductions in volunteers and aid stations. Finish line (not discussed where) area @ 50% capacity

“The North Elba Town Board North Elba, New York approved the 2021 IRONMAN Lake Placid triathlon and Summit Lacrosse events following in-depth written and oral presentations from Summit Lacrosse and IRONMAN representatives, which included assurances of a reduction of athletes by 20% and that eligible athletes, coaches, officials, vendors, staff, volunteers and spectators in designated event areas will be required to provide proof of vaccination,” said Jay Rand, Town of North Elba Supervisor. “We thank the organizers for exceptional efforts to conduct these events with the highest degree of safety, and we wish safe and successful events to both IRONMAN and Lacrosse organizations.”

My understanding was that meeting was at 5pm. When I asked it wasn’t yet 5pm in LP which was why I asked.

So transition at Northwoods school, but do we know if swim in/out is also from that end of the lake? It would have to be, no? My Hampton Inn reservation is much less convenient now. Oh well, just happy to race.

Ironman just emailed. They're on board. Offering deferral to 2022 IMLP (extending deadline to up to 1 week before race day) or deferral to 2021 Chattanooga or Maryland on a limited basis. Otherwise- GAME ON!

According to stuff I see elsewhere (FB) the decision to require vaccinations was not made by the village, but was an agreement between ROOST (the tourism bureau for the Adirondack region, which is the entity that pays Ironman to have the race) and Ironman.
