Age-group thresholds

IRONMAN 5150 Kraichgau · 5 editions (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019) · 2,720 finishers

Editions: 2015 · 2016 · 2017 · 2018 · 2019

How to read it: in each row, the time under "Top 10%" is the time of the slowest athlete who still made the fastest 10% of the age group. Beat that time and you are in. Age groups with fewer than 5 finishers are omitted. Finishers only.
