For Race Directors
Sanctioning
In 2009, USA Triathlon sanctioned over 3,000 events across the country. USA Triathlon not only sanctions triathlons, but also duathlons, aquathlons, off-road events, winter triathlon, youth races, camps and clinics.
Education
USA Triathlon's Event Services Department presents organized educational opportunities for race directors each year. Included in these programs are the Race Director Certification Course and the annual Race Director Symposium. Both of these opportunities allow race directors to network with colleagues from across the country and learn how to put on safe and fun races.
Race Director Toolbox
This section contains a variety of forms, resources, sponsor product information, and tools necessary for conducting safe and fun multisport events.
Insurance
USAT provides comprehensive insurance coverage to sanctioned events. The coverage provides liability coverage to protect the race director, sponsors, volunteers, officials, and participants. The athlete excess medical coverage protects each participant for the day of the event.
Getting Started & FAQ
The sanction process is entirely web-based, hosted and handled by the USAT website. Event directors familiar with the sanction process will recognize that most of the flow and function of the old "sanction application" becomes the Event Safety Plan. The process will walk the event director through the design of a safety plan specific to their event.
