Nearly 80 of the top professional triathletes from around the world are preparing to line up in Busselton, Australia, for the penultimate race of the 2024 IRONMAN Pro Series at the IRONMAN 70.3 Western Australia Asia-Pacific Championship triathlon on December 1, 2024.
The large pro athlete turnout marks one of the largest professional start lists in the Busselton event’s 20-year history.
The race signals the 18th stop of the IRONMAN Pro Series and with just two races left on the calendar, points earned at the IRONMAN 70.3 Western Australia triathlon will be important to athletes chasing top spots in the series.
The elite athlete competition has been contested throughout the year, with professional triathletes racing to earn points which accrue towards the title of IRONMAN Pro Series Champion, and in turn the lion’s share of a US$1.7 million end-of-year bonus prize purse.
IRONMAN 70.3 Western Australia race winners will earn 2,500 points towards the IRONMAN Pro Series standings, with every second an athlete finishes behind the race winner equating to a point earned or lost.
Highlighting its prestige in the region and on the global IRONMAN circuit, the event has been designated as the IRONMAN 70.3 Asia-Pacific Championship and will offer professional triathletes a total prize purse of US$75,000 and four qualifying slots per gender to the 2025 VinFast IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Marbella, Spain, on November 8-9.
With a strong line up of professionals and a coastal backdrop, the event will be broadcast across multiple platforms for viewers around the world for free including proseries.ironman.com, Outside TV, DAZN, iQIYI and L’Equipe in France, and YouTube among others.
The sold-out event will feature both IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 racing, with over 3,500 registered age-group participants competing in either the IRONMAN 70.3 Western Australia Asia-Pacific Championship triathlon or the IRONMAN Western Australia triathlon alongside the professionals, looking to earn age-group qualifying slots to the 2025 VinFast IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship triathlon on November 8-9 and the 2025 VinFast IRONMAN World Championship triathlons in Nice, France on September 14, and Kona, Hawai`i on October 11.
