"An Ironman Triathlon is a triathlon sanctioned by the World Triathlon Corporation that adheres to specific distances for each part of the event. The Ironman World Championship is an annual triathlon race, possibly the most famous triathlon in the world. It is held in the US state of Hawaii. It features three endurance events: swimming, biking, and running. It is based in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii and involves a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometre) swim (across Kailua-Kona Bay), followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometre) bike ride (from Keauhou to Hawi and back), and a 26.2 mile (42.2 kilometre) marathon along the coast of the Big Island (from Keauhou to Keahole Point to Kailua-Kona).
Official qualifying events for the Hawaii Ironman take place annually around the world, in places such as Australia, Canada, the United States, Japan, the Canary Islands (Spain), South Africa, and Europe." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironman_Triathlon
