By joining TEAM IMF you are choosing to Race For More!
TEAM IMF is a network of IRONMAN athletes that are dedicated to leaving their IRONMAN legacy in race communities long after race day. Through TEAM IMF, athletes have the opportunity to fundraise in support of the IRONMAN Foundation’s mission while racing an IRONMAN event of their choice at no additional cost. Funds directly benefit those communities where IRONMAN events are held by providing charitable support to a variety of local nonprofit organizations.
TEAM IMF athletes receive support not only from the IRONMAN Foundation staff, but from our team of Ambassadors who play a pivotal role in our program. Our Ambassadors are true servant leaders in their efforts and will be joining TEAM IMF athletes on the starting line of dozens of IRONMAN events.
As a special thank you for supporting the IRONMAN Foundation through TEAM IMF, athletes receive "IRONBUCKS" which can be redeemed for merchandise, VIP passes, and can be applied towards the chance to win our annual Race For More Vacation!
