Linden Hall prize money
Linden Hall has been paid $81,750 by the Diamond League, which ranks 381st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from 24 paid finishes in the women's 1500 m, women's 3000 m and women's mile, one of them a win.
The Diamond League pays by finishing place and nothing else. A published card sets what first through eighth is worth, the same figure in every discipline at that meeting, and ninth pays nothing.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
The 24 paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $81,750 is 24 separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.07% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. 17 of the 41 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

The World Cross Country Championships
What Linden Hall ran on the grass
| RACE | PLACE | MARK | EARNED | TEAM PAID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mixed relay | - | 22:23 | - | $12,000 |
Linden Hall has run one race here and was paid nothing in her own name. Only the first six across the line are, $30,000 for the win down to $3,000 for 6th, and there is no appearance money underneath it. The team she ran on earned Australia $12,000, all of it from the mixed relay, which is timed rather than scored and pays a country rather than the four who ran it. It is the federation's money rather than hers, and it is not added to the $81,750 at the top of this page. Sheran alongside Oliver Hoare and Jessica Hull, and the Diamond League has paid every one of them too. The cross country page holds all 10 races across two championships and the $620,000 they paid out.

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $38,000 from six starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Linden Hall in 2017, 2020 and 2022, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $81,750.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Linden Hall won?
$81,750, which ranks 381st of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from 24 paid finishes between 2016 and 2026.
What is Linden Hall's biggest Diamond League payday?
$20,000, for finishing 1st in the Diamond+ 3000 m at the 2025 Bauhausgalan. The Diamond League pays by place rather than by performance, so that figure is what the card in force that season paid for 1st and would have paid anybody who finished there.
How does the Diamond League decide what Linden Hall gets paid?
Entirely by where she finishes. The series publishes one rate card a season and applies it to every discipline at every meeting, so a win is worth the same in the women's 1500 m as it is in the shot put on the same afternoon. Eight places are paid and ninth pays nothing. There is no bonus for a record and no share of a gate.
How many Diamond League meetings has Linden Hall won?
One of 41, worth $20,000 between them. Three of her appearances came at a final, which paid $11,500.
Has Linden Hall ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
17 times. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Linden Hall earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 meetings. The World Cross Country Championships money above is separate money from a separate payer, and none of it is added together here. It holds no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid her, priced off the card it published.
