Macmillan will reimburse 30% of the sponsorship you raise, up to the cost of your IRONMAN or IRONMAN 70.3 entry fee.
An IRONMAN consists of a 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.25 km) cycle and a marathon 26.2-mile (42.2 km) run. An IRONMAN 70.3 is made up of a 1.2-mile (1.9 km) swim, a 56-mile (90 km) bike ride, and a 13.1-mile (21.1 km) run. Either distance is a chance to test yourself to the limit in one of the toughest events in the world.
Macmillan Cancer Support will reimburse 30% of any sponsorship you raise, up to the cost of your IRONMAN entry fee. The claim must be submitted within 3 months after your event.
There's no minimum sponsorship target. So, for example, if you raise £100 then you'd be reimbursed £30. If you want to be reimbursed your full entry fee, the amount you need to raise would differ depending on how much you paid for your place. For example, if you paid £432 to enter IRONMAN UK, then you would need to raise £1440 to be reimbursed the full £432.
Reimbursing a percentage of your sponsorship is a risk-free way of fundraising for the charity and it can be cheaper for the charity than the cost of a charity package. If you have any questions about fundraising or why donations may be used in this way, please don't hesitate to contact Macmillan directly at triathlon@macmillan.org.uk.

30% of the sponsorship that I collect (up to the cost of my entry fee) will be reimbursed. This means that Macmillan receives 70% or more of my sponsorship.
