Ironman Wales 2025 – Analyzing Results

IM Wales 2025 LogoCourse Conditions

As always, Wales is one of the slowest courses on the Pro Ironman calendar. This year, winner Franzi Hofmann was the only Pro woman with a sub-10 finish, and she was just 30 seconds off the course record. 

Kona Qualifying

There was only one Kona 2026 Pro slot, which will be offered to winner Franzi Hofmann.

Update: Apparently, I saw an outdated version of the Kona Pro slot assignment. Wales had two slots, the second slot will be awarded to Rosie Wild.

All Kona qualifiers can be found on this page.
