*For all years from 1983 through 2009, except for 1987 and 1991, when no event was held.

In 1984, drafting was eliminated, the Bike I course was lengthened from 65 to 90 miles, and the Bike II course was shortened from 170 to 160 miles.  Thus, no Bike or Overall times for 1983 finishers are eligible for inclusion here.  In 1986, lava flows destroyed a portion of the Chain of Craters road, and the Bike II course was lengthened to 171.4 miles.  Thus, no Bike II or overall times for any pre-1986 finishers are eligible for inclusion here.

**2001 and 2002 New Bike Course—same distance, 171.4 miles but started and finished in Kona.
