8. Triathlon: The sport of triathlon is currently one of the most popular endurance sports on the planet, and dominated by the Ironman brand. While the pro category in Ironman hands out the largest cash prizes, this money is really not accessible to mere mortals. There are however, highly popular triathlons with no pro category, and cash prizing. The Norseman Xtreme Triathlon of Norway, is widely regarded as one of the most challenging endurance races on the planet, and also has the largest cash prize for winners, albeit with a catch. The $10,000 prize must be donated to a charity of the winners choice. Every August, 240 athletes are tested with a 2.4 mile swim in a chilly fjord, a 112 mile bike, and a 26.2 run to summit of the 6000 ft high Gaustatoppen mountain - with the final few miles on a rocky track. The best part is that with your $10,000 donation, you can feel altruistic about winning!
