What is the Classic Division?
The goal of the IRONMAN Virtual Racing platform is to provide continued inspiration and motivation for all athletes to be able to complete IRONMAN VR distances.
The Classic Division allows athletes the flexibility to race indoors or outdoors and with any preferred equipment.
Athletes participating in the Classic Division will have access to the Classic Division Live Leaderboard during race weekend. The times posted on this leaderboard will not be monitored by the IRONMAN officials team given the diversity of the equipment being used.
Athletes who want to compete in IRONMAN VR races with times monitored may sign up for the Challenger Division, in which they must complete their activities outdoors or on the ROUVY augmented cycling reality platform to log an official result.
