Ironman WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP Medical Symposium OCTOBER 5-9, 2025

About the Race Slot

Mahalo to the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC)/ Ironman® World Championship for making this offer available to the Ironman Medical Symposium (IMS) attendees.

One (1) fully-registered conference attendee will be selected to receive a slot in the following year's Ironman® World Championship through a drawing exclusive to the symposium. In April 2025, an Ironman announcement confirmed the 2026 race will return to a single-day of racing bringing together both women and men for the Ironman® World Championship on Saturday, October 10, 2026.

This is a unique opportunity to gain entry into the  Ironman® World Championship in Hawaii. Approximately 2,000 athletes from around the world will vie to compete by qualifying through Ironman-affiliated events held worldwide. Visit the Ironman® World Championship web site for details.

Participating in the Ironman® World Championship requires substantial physical, personal, professional and financial commitment.
