A top age-grouper who became a professional in 2020, Ruth Astle is currently ranked 19th in PTO World Rankings.

In her two full Ironman competitions in 2021, Ruth won both races by significant margins. She also broke the bike course record in Mallorca. In late 2022, she cracked the top-20 with a dominant win at the inaugural Ironman Israel. 2023 saw a 12th place finish at IM Worlds for Astle.
