2011 Ironman Foundation slots are SOLD OUT.

Ironman Foundation Information

To help give back to the communities that play host to Ironman events in the U.S., Ironman has teamed up with The Ironman Foundaton.

The Ironman Foundation provides an opportunity for Ironman to help those in the communities that support our events, with a heavy emphasis on providing sports opportunities for children. Once the Ironman event is closed to general entry, a limited number of Ironman Foundation slots are made available for those still wishing to enter.

An Ironman Foundation entry is $650.00 USD, with $325 going toward the race entry fee and $325 for the charitable donation. The charitable donation portion is tax deductible.

After the slots are sold out, The Ironman Foundation will distribute donations to Ironman communities to help provide more recreational opportunities for children.
