For the first time in the 40-plus year history of triathlon's pinnacle event, professional and age-group women will have their own edition of the VinFast Ironman World Championship triathlon in Kailua-Kona on Oct. 14. This will be the first time in history that the professional and age-group women are racing in a different location to the men, who raced earlier this month in Nice, France. Defending Ironman World Champion, USA's Chelsea Sodaro will headline the field in a bid for back-to-back titles.
