The 2023 TYR Wodapalooza prize purse is a staggering $500,000! This prize money will be shared amongst the elite individuals, elite teams of 3, Masters and Adaptive divisions.
The payouts have doubled for the Elite Teams of 3 and Masters divisions, but 1st place in the Elite Individual division has been lowered this year.
Coming off the news that the Elite Individuals will only compete two days this year, Wodapalooza has dropped the top prize to $75,000 in 2023. Last year, champions Pat Vellner and Emma McQuaid each earned $100,000 for the top podium spot. Taking 2nd place will remain at $35,000 and 3rd place has increased to $25,000. Additionally, 6th through 9th place will earn $1,000 more for their achievements.
