USA Triathlon Foundation Now Accepting Applications for 2026 Ambassador Team

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The USA Triathlon Foundation announced today it is now accepting applications for the 2026 USA Triathlon Foundation Ambassador Team. A nationwide community of multisport athletes, the Ambassador Team is a group of dedicated individuals who are committed to both fundraising and raising awareness for the USA Triathlon Foundation, the sport and multisport communities. The application window is open now.

Made up of multisport athletes who have a passion for giving back to their communities and spreading awareness about the virtues of multisport, the USA Triathlon Foundation Ambassador Team embodies the goals of the USA Triathlon Foundation: to support and promote the virtues of triathlon, and to open pathways for all to swim, bike, and run.

The mission of the 2026 Ambassador Team program is simple, said Lindsay Welker, Senior Manager, USA Triathlon Foundation Operations and Annual Giving: “to raise awareness, raise money, and have fun! 

“Our USA Triathlon Foundation Ambassadors are a group of passionate multisport athletes who will help expand the reach of the Foundation’s mission of making triathlon accessible to all. Their dedication to fundraising and awareness fuels opportunities for youth and aspiring Olympians and Paralympians, and helps us break down barriers across the sport; they are truly critical to our everyday work!” Welker said. “If you’re ready to channel your love of triathlon to give back, lift others, and share what this sport has meant to you, you are encouraged to apply for the team today!” 

The 2025 USA Triathlon Foundation Ambassador Team included 105 passionate individuals and is on track to surpass $100,000 in fundraising. The 2026 program will see enhanced features, including new swag, new fundraising benefits, and less time commitment, all to expand the Foundation’s reach to connect with more groups in the multisport community and further engagement around races. 

Ambassadors are asked to raise a minimum of $1,000 each for the USA Triathlon Foundation and help increase awareness of the multisport community. That funding will go toward deserving individuals and organizations in the multisport community in support of the foundation’s three pillars: Encourage Youth Participation, Inspire Pathways to Access and Inclusion, and Ignite Olympic and Paralympic Dreams. Upon joining the team, ambassadors receive a USA Triathlon Foundation-branded tri kit and a tech tee.
