Hi,

I probably need to check my math skills but can anyone please explain why it looks like the run is 26 and not 26.2 miles.

Just wondering.

Thanks,

Kendra

All runs at any Ironman sanctioned events are 26.2 miles.  The breakdown of the race distances are: swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 and run 26.2 for a total of 140.6 miles ... and the only easy distance in the entire race is those last 0.2 miles as you can then hear and see the finish line in front of you!

I assume you are talking about the run splits on the tracking website.  You are right, 7.47+14.28+4.25=26.0 not 26.2.  Also the last run split distance is wrong by about a mile.   The last mat was at the top of the turn around hill and then mile 21 was at the bottom on the way back into town.  My best guess is that the splits are 7.47+13.48+5.25=26.2.
