Professional athletes who want to take advantage of an Annual Ironman Pro Membership in 2023, which gives them ‘free access’ to every Ironman and Ironman 70.3, will have to pay significantly more. The Ironman website shows that an Pro Membership for an entire season will cost $1,250, up 38 percent from the previous $900.
Pro Memberships are very popular among pro athletes, because they can sign up for any pro Ironman race without any worries, but they can also decide at the last minute not to start, for example due to injury or a change of schedule. For spectators this is often less interesting, because you only know shortly before the race which pro athletes will actually start during an Ironman.
