When disaster strikes, we call upon our IRONMAN and Rock 'n' Roll Running Series community to support relief efforts in our race communities recovering from disasters like the Marshall Fire in Boulder County, tornadoes in Nashville, the bushfires in Australia, wildfires in Northern California, Hurricanes Michael, Florence, and Maria, the earthquakes in Ecuador, and the floods in Peru. Recovery from these events takes years.

 

Right now, the crisis in Ukraine hits closer to home than many may realize. A strong contingent of IRONMAN Athletes live in Ukraine and are currently in the fight of their lives. Our IRONMAN Family is international. We are 'Ohana, bonded by our shared athletic passions and spirit of achieving, together, which is why the IRONMAN Foundation asks you to join us to support our family in Ukraine and eastern Europe.

It is the mission of the IRONMAN Foundation and Rock This Town to create positive tangible impact in our race communities through grant funding and volunteerism. In times of disaster, dollars are the most helpful way to show support. 

 

As such, we are kicking off a humanitarian relief campaign by pledging to match every donation, dollar for dollar up to a total of $10,000 made to the Ukrainian Refugee Relief donations through the IRONMAN Foundation. These donations will go to organizations supporting Ukrainian citizens fleeing to Poland and Moldova including the United Nations Development Programme of Moldova and World Central Kitchen.
