Athletes who aren’t vaccinated can participate in Lake Placid’s Ironman triathlon as long as they can provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test result. The Adirondack Daily Enterprise reports the policy change comes after the village of Lake Placid and town of North Elba each rolled back vaccine requirements for large-scale events. Rather than require all athletes to be vaccinated, Ironman organizers are now allowing unvaccinated athletes to participate in the triathlon as long as they test negative for COVID-19 within 72 hours of arriving for the event.
