Are Triathlon Entry Fees Getting Out of Hand?

Описание: Is triathlon becoming a sport only for the wealthy, or do the entry fees actually make sense?
From local sprints to $1,600 World Championship entries, the cost of racing has never been higher. But are race directors "laughing all the way to the bank," or are they just trying to keep the lights on?

In this video, we go behind the scenes with Ian Hamilton, founder of the Outlaw Triathlon series, to break down the exact costs of organizing an event. We explore why triathlon is "triple the complexity," the massive hidden costs of traffic management and insurance, and why the decline of volunteers is driving prices even higher.

If you’ve ever wondered why an IRONMAN costs what it does, or why your favorite local race just got cancelled, this deep dive is for you.

Entry fees are a massive talking point in our sport right now. Knowing the breakdown of the costs now, does it change your perspective on the 'big' entry fees, or do you still think it's becoming too expensive for the average person?👇
