<\/strong>A. USA Triathlon (USAT) is the National Governing Body for triathlon and duathlon. USA Triathlon sanctions events, picks national, world and Olympic teams; trains and hires officials; promotes the sport, etc. To learn more about USA Triathlon and the official rules visit www.usatriathlon.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A. The USAT sanctioning process ensures that each event has agreed to take the outlined steps to ensure a safe and fair race. In turn, this allows USAT athletes to compete in quality events and potentially become a nationally ranked athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A. Yes! Even though we may have your USAT number on file, we still must see proof of current membership at check-in. Your USAT number does not indicate your membership status. If you do not bring proof of membership to check-in, you will be required to purchase a one-day license in order to compete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A. Visit the USA Triathlon website at www.usatriathlon.org<\/a> for details on how to obtain a replacement card or temporary proof of membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A. Yes, each and every member of a relay team either needs an annual license or to pay the one-day fee. The primary benefit is insurance and that is for each individual, not the team as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A. The age that you will be in the calendar year is the age group you will race in all year. Ex: If you are 39 on race day and 40 on Dec. 31st of that year, you will race in the 40-44 age group for that event. This is the method that the USAT uses in the final ranking system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>A. Yes. In accordance with USA Triathlon requirements all competitors at all USAT sanctioned events must have a USAT license. To obtain a license, which is $50.00 annually, visit their website at:\u00a0www.usatriathlon.org<\/a>. You may also purchase your one day license at packet pick-up for $15.00 per person. USAT members must present their current membership card at packet pick-up, or they will be required to purchase a one day license. You may apply the $15.00 you pay for a one day license to the $50.00 annual fee if you send in a copy of a cancelled check and\/or the receipt from the one day license.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
