Amateurs have the opportunity to qualify at Iracema Beach , a popular Brazilian holiday region, as early as November for one of forty starting places assigned to the Ironman Hawaii of the following year. In 2015, US $ 960 (including service fee, plus travel expenses and accommodation) had to be paid per starting place for the Ironman Hawaii. In 2014, fifty starting places were offered for the Ironman Hawaii. In the last two events in 2015 and 2016 there were no professional athletes at the start and the race was not extended for 2017.
