Book your tattoo artist in Callella.
Half and full now IM branded.

Just wonder if they want extra entry fees now?!

It's very close to Mallorca from a timing point of view. I wonder will they move one of them? Not sure how close the 2 70.3 events are on the calendar.

Jesus its like internet startups.

Startup up a company that has a buzz word in the name and hope Google/Facebook buy you.

Is that from next year?

Nothing on either Challenge or Ironman website?

mrbungle · 15-04-2014 5:13am

This year supposedly. Press release from Callella at 11am.

Daz1214 · 15-04-2014 6:57am

Where are you seeing this? Nothing online at all!!!

pgibbo · 15-04-2014 8:56am

It was all over twitter yesterday evening. Haven't checked any of the websites but a lot of the tri news feeds had it on twitter

Daz1214 · 15-04-2014 9:00am

Strange because challenge are still advertising and there is nothing on the Ironman website

Im sure we'll know more as the day goes on

From what I recall they had issues getting the road closures again for the half last year and had to change the bike route. I wonder will they get the old route back under the IM brand.

Daz1214 · 15-04-2014 10:55am

The new route was a great course by all accounts (never saw it after 9km due to a mechanical)

Im headin over this year again so very interested to see where this goes

You might have to do a course in Spanish.

This the Half for the last two years and loved it. It was fantastically organized from my point of view by challenge. I wonder what the IM brand will do to it now

Daz1214 · 16-04-2014 12:09am

Raise prices first and foremost id imagine

buzzingnoise · 18-04-2014 5:27pm

no word from challenge yet on how this changes things for those already registered. surely ironman would honour the existing entries?

They did last year when they did the same thing in Copenhagen

Daz1214 · 18-04-2014 5:39pm

Post up on the facebook page saying that all existing entries are valid and no action is needed
