The world’s most popular Ironman race!

The ONLY way to get into this race is to fly to Penticton and line up all night to register, or to enter via the CEO Challenge. Outside of Kona, the hardest race in the world to get into – and, for many, the best Ironman race in the world!

The CEO Challenge at Subaru Ironman Canada includes 6 days / 5 nights accommodation at the Penticton Lakeside Resort (steps from the race venue – limited number of rooms), entry to the sold-out race, exclusive Dinner with the Pros and many group meals. But the biggest benefit is that we will look after your family all weekend, including race day, allowing you to get ready and have your best race possible!

What’s Included in the Program

Advice, guidance, and full-service support from CEO Challenges staff for CEOs and their guests – we have worked at over 50 Ironman races around the world, and will take the ‘mystery’ out of Ironman.

Guaranteed entry into Subaru Ironman Canada, even though the race totally sold out from on-site entries on Sept 1, 2009 (max. 15 participants).
