ironman and half ironman

Technically, the only races that can call themselves IM or IM70.3 are the ones put on or licensed by the World Triathlon Corporation. I may be mistaken but all their races are 140.6 or 70.3. Other non-branded races may not stick to the official distance, I know I did a "HIM" last fall with a 59-mile bike, 73.3-mile total, I guess (Ironstar).

Edit: excerpt from Ironstar's website, just as an example:

The 5th Annual Iron Star Triathlon is the premier half Iron Distance triathlon in southeast Texas. Last year, we had our fourth consecutive field of over 600 competitors. Our field limit is 800. The 1.2 mile swim in Lake Conroe, the 59 mile bike in scenic Montgomery County, and the 13.1 mile run will take place at the Del Lago Resort on Lake Conroe.

Ironman - 2.4 mi swim, 112 mi bike, 26.2 mi run = 140.6

Half Ironman - 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run = 70.3

Always.  What races have you seen called ironman or half ironmans that don't have these distances?

the IM brand marketers stopped calling them half ironmans and call them 70.3 races.
