2014 Ironman 70.3 World Championship

The 2014 Ironman 70.3 Series featured 59 events that enabled qualification to the 2014 World Championship event. Professional triathletes qualified for the championship race by competing in races during the qualifying period, earning points towards their pro rankings. An athlete's five highest scoring races were counted toward their pro rankings. The top 50 males and top 35 females in the pro rankings qualified for the championship race. The previous five 70.3 champions, as well as last year's Ironman World Champions and Hy-Vee Triathlon winners received an automatic qualifying spot.^[1] Professional athletes were also eligible for prize purses at each qualifying event, which ranged in total size from $15,000 to $250,000.^[1]

Amateur triathletes could qualify for the championship race by earning a qualifying slot at one of the qualifying events. At qualifying events, slots were allocated to each age group category, male and female, with the number of slots given out based on that category's proportional representation of the overall field. Each age group category was tentatively allocated one qualifying spot in each qualifying event. Some 70.3 events also served as qualifiers for the full Ironman World Championships in Hawaii.^[6] However, the 2014 qualifying year would be the final year for the current five, non-hand cycle, qualifying races in this capacity. This was to accommodate for the increased number of qualifying slots created from the newly added full Ironman events.^[7]
