The new Series will be contested over 20 designated races on 19 courses in the 2024 pro circuit, including a combination of six full-distance IRONMAN events and 10 IRONMAN^® 70.3^® triathlons from around the globe in addition to the split location women’s and men’s 2024 VinFast IRONMAN World Championship triathlons and two-day women’s and men’s VinFast IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship triathlons.

Every Second Matters

The IRONMAN Pro Series is a points-based system based on an athlete’s finish time in relation to the event winner, calculated after the completion of each designated series race. Winners at IRONMAN events will earn 5,000 points while winners of IRONMAN 70.3 events will earn 2,500 points. In each scenario, points continue to decrease as the race time increases, until the points reach zero. Elevated points are available at the VinFast IRONMAN World Championship (6,000 for champion), and the VinFast IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship (3,000 points for champion). Only the top five points results for a competitor count towards final rankings, of which a maximum of three IRONMAN results can be counted. The male and female pro with the most points at the end of the Series will be crowned IRONMAN Pro Series Champion. The inaugural race of the IRONMAN Pro Series will kick off at the Athletic Brewing IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside event on Saturday, April 6, 2024. Standings and individual race results can be found on the new IRONMAN Pro Series website.
