healthy living running and joggingWhat is the prize money for Ironman Kona?
Also question is, how much money do you get for winning Ironman?
In all of triathlon—from short-course ITU tolong-course Ironman, only fifteen athletes earned more than$100,000 in prize money over the past year. And only 25athletes earned middle class wages between $50k and $100k. Whichmeans a full 95% of pros won less than $50,000 each, with 75%earning less than $10,000.
Similarly one may ask, how much does an Ironman cost?
Entry fees for an Ironman vary by stateand country, but you should expect to pay between $650 and $700 forthe big race. Sprint and Olympic triathlons also vary inprice, but most run between $80 and $200. The longer therace, the higher the cost.
It is certainly not for beginner athletes, but forbeginning IRONMAN athletes. Training covers 13 weeksand culminates in completing your first 140.6-distance race inabout 12 to 14 hours.
