SafeSport

The U.S. Center for SafeSport requires that certain USA Triathlon members and event participants must complete training to help protect athletes. These SafeSport training requirements are performed through your USA Triathlon member account. If training is required, members will see a banner that reads Invalid SafeSport Entry. Click Renew SafeSport and follow the instructions to take your required course(s).

• Note: you must complete SafeSport Trained or Refresher 1, 2 or 3 to meet the training requirement. You are welcome to review the other SafeSport classes as well, but those will not satisfy the SafeSport requirement.

Once complete, save a copy of your completion certificate for your records. Email trisafesupport@usatriathlon.org with any technical difficulties.
