We had an incredible response in those looking to join a USA Triathlon committee in 2025: close to 1000 USAT members put their name forward in interest of joining one of our 11 committees. These committees have somewhere between 1 and 3 spots on average each to fill in the 2025 year.

With this incredible response, we greatly appreciate your patience as we review committee applications. If you have any questions about the process for 2025 committees, please contact the USA Triathlon legal team.
