How 70.3 Worlds qualifying works

Every age-group winner gets a slot. The rest of a race’s slots go by age-graded time: each finish time is multiplied by IRONMAN’s factor for the athlete’s age group, and the fastest adjusted times take the remaining slots — from 2026, in separate women’s and men’s pools. So the “needed” time differs by age group even within one race. Each race page models the allocation athlete by athlete, including rolldown.
