Race Director Monthly Webinar Series
USA Triathlon is proud to present a monthly webinar for race directors that is absolutely free. These webinars will be held approximately once a month and can be attended live or viewed after the face. Certified Race Directors can receive one (1) CEU for writing a short paragraph as to what they learned from the presentation and what they can implement at their event.
2019 Race Director Summit Recorded Sessions
USA Triathlon for the first time has recorded a handful of the presentations at this year's Race Director Summit, free of charge. If a race director would like to use these presentations to collect 1 CEU per presentation they will need to email Todd Brewer with a short paragraph on what they learned. However, race directors will be limited to earn no more than 3 CEU's from these presentations.
