A prize purse of USD$1000 each will be awarded to the first male and female professional athlete in each race to finish the first lap of the bike and who is an official finisher.
While the concept is not new it has been re-introduced this year as an added incentive for the athletes on this two lap course and in addition to the USD$25,000 prize money on offer this weekend.

The race gets underway from 6.45am Sunday 5 May and is an official qualifier for the 2013 IRONMAN World Championship.
