In 1990, Ironman established the Passport Club, now open to athletes worldwide. The Passport Club offers many benefits, including an increased chance of being selected through the lottery.
A mainstay in the history of the Ironman, the Ironman Lottery began in 1983 thanks to the vision of one of Ironman's founders, John Collins, as a way to provide athletes of all abilities the opportunity to be part of the world's most challenging one-day endurance event.
