EMPOWERING YOUTH IN TRIATHLON
Overview
As a partner of the largest endurance sports organization in the world, The IRONMAN Group, the IRONMAN Foundation believes in the importance of excellent health and wellness, especially among our youth. We provide grants and support to organizations that provide opportunities for community members to engage in active and healthy lifestyles.
Bikes For Kids
At select IRONMAN events, we invite athletes, as well as their families and friends, to visit the IRONMAN Foundation in IRONMAN Village to assemble bikes for local kids in need, inspiring them to exercise and live a healthy lifestyle.
As part of race weekend, the IRONMAN Foundation will deliver the bikes to kids in partnership with a local nonprofit organization, powerfully linking our athletes to the local community and leaving the IRONMAN legacy behind long after race day.
