‘TRI’ for the USAT Foundation
Get guaranteed entry and race the Olympic distance National Championship for a great cause, the USAT Foundation.
USAT members have always played a crucial role in helping America’s youth and paratriathletes make it to the playing field. Unlike pro and college sports that have a large spectator and alumni backing, USA Triathlon relies on donations from the private community in order to meet various program goals. These athletes aspire to a dream, whether it be attending a key event, camp, clinic or the Paralympic Games. The location and size of the activity doesn’t really matter. What does matter is USAT removing the impediments that might stand in the way of the athlete’s ability to participate and/or succeed. The funds from this specific event will go towards youth and Paratriathlon development.
USAT has reserved registration slots for twenty (20) athletes. Each of these athletes;
- Must raise a minimum of $1,000 in order to obtain to eligible to compete;
- Are not required to have qualified in order to compete in the Olympic Distance National Championship;
