Based on this year's scheduled races this would be the 27th and 28th races in the global Ironman series, including the Ironman World Championship race in Kona.

Both Canada and New York state land their second Ironman races in the series, going up against the long established series triathlons, Ironman Canada and Ironmna Lake Placid.

Registration for both races opens next week, June 15th, 2011 and we were wondering which new race interested you the most. For some it could be the location, for others it could be the course, various reasons exist. We are just curious to see two new races go head to head and find which one people really like.

We want to know which would you rather do Ironman Mont-Tremblant or Ironman US Championship / New York City? Vote here >> http://twtpoll.com/r/qn4xnp

As of right now, Ironman Mont-Tremblant leads Ironman US Championship with 60% of the votes.

Note, rumors are going around that the entry fee for the Ironman US Championship race, which mostly take place in New Jersey and ends in New York could $1,000 USD. It totally possible... Guess you could take that into consideration now as well.

]]> Note, we created the poll when the rumor was swirling that the new Ironman race in New York City would take place in August.

We will publish the result when the poll is over, roughly in 5 days.

For a mere annual membership fee of $1,000 athletes will gain advance registration for Ironman events worldwide before entries open to the general public plus addition member benefits.

"An exclusive program that allows Ironman athletes the opportunity to register for popular worldwide events before online registration opens to the general public."

The new Ironman Access membership is open on a first-come, first-served basis and will close once it reaches capacity. See www.ironmanaccess.com for further details.

We want to know what you think of WTC's new "Ironman Access" program with our online poll? Do you Love it!, Hate it! or are Unsure? Vote here >> http://twtpoll.com/b9kbe5

The heart and soul of an Ironman event are the un-paid volunteers that are out there just as long as many athletes and provide the nutrition and/or support along the way to those racing, including the pros. One of the side benefits all volunteers get and most use is the ability to register for the following year's race prior to the race opening to the general public. A great incentive to get the volunteers the event needs and the opportunity for athletes to join in the experience. The new membership program now gives athletes the ability to skip to the front on the line and register for those Sold Out events before others and possibly to those that worked their butts off volunteering.
