Event information:

The 2012 Ironman 70.3 Series features 57 events that enable qualification to the 2012 World Championship event, many of which are making their first appearance in the series due to WTC's expansion of the 70.3 brand. Two of those events, Japan and Syracuse, appear twice during the qualifying year due to changes in these event's positioning within the qualifying year. Professional triathletes qualify for the championship race by competing in races during the qualifying period, earning points towards their pro rankings. An athlete’s five highest scoring races are counted toward their pro rankings. The top 50 males and top 30 females in the pro rankings qualify for the championship race. Professional athletes are also eligible for prize purses at each qualifying event, which range in total size from $15,000 to $75,000.

Amateur triathletes can qualify for the championship race by earning a qualifying slot at one of the qualifying events or through the Physically Challenged Lottery. At qualifying events, slots are allocated to each age group category, male and female, with the number of slots given out based on that category's proportional representation of the overall field. Each age group category is tentatively allocated one qualifying spot in each qualifying event. Some 70.3 events also serve as qualifiers for the full Ironman World Championships in Hawaii.
