Points were earned by competing in WTC sanctioned Ironman and Ironman 70.3 events throughout the qualifying year. For the 2016 championship race that period was August 30, 2015 to August 21, 2016. The top 50 male and top 35 female pros in points at the end of the qualifying year qualified to race in Kona. An athlete's five highest scoring races were counted in the point totals. At least one Ironman race must have been completed and only three Ironman 70.3 races counted towards an athlete's overall point total. Prior champions of a WTC Championship received an automatic entry for the Championship race for a period of five years after their last championship performance provided that they competed in at least one full-distance Ironman race during the qualifying year. Additionally, winners of the five regional Ironman championships received automatic qualification into the 2016 Ironman Championship. All automatic entries awarded did not count toward the number of available qualifying spots.http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/organizations/pro-membership/qualifying/ironman-qualifying.aspx https://web.archive.org/web/20160407171558/http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/organizations/pro-membership/qualifying/ironman-qualifying.aspx#axzz4CDj61v4h April 7, 2016 IM Qualifying World Triathlon Corporation June 21, 2016Krabel Herbert 2011 Kona Pro Qualification Rules http://www.slowtwitch.com/News/2011_Kona_pro_qualification_rules_1457.html Slowtwitch.com December 21, 2012 July 26, 2010 The available prize money to professional triathletes for qualifying races ranged from $25,000 to $150,000, depending on the event.
