An Ironman race covers the long-distance triathlon: 3.86 km swimming, 180.2 km cycling and 42.195 km running.

In the 24 individual races of the season and the races over half the Ironman distance ( Ironman 70.3 ), the triathletes can qualify for a starting place at the Ironman Hawaii - the unofficial World Championship - on October 8, 2011.

The Ironman Malaysia and Ironman Japan no longer appear in the event calendar this season and have been removed from the racing series. In 2011, the Ironman Texas , a new Ironman competition, will be held for the first time in May. Another Ironman premiere will take place at Ironman Wales in September, but there will be qualification for Hawaii for 2012.
