A Special Message to Multisport Event Directors
The Event Services team is working hard to bring you a comprehensive list of business-focused products and services, including this resource guide. We are listening to your feedback and creating new and improved programs to better serve you now and in the future. Here are a few of the many great opportunities we en- courage you to take advantage of:
Best Practices Consultancy— USA Triathlon recognizes its race directors as a powerful resource. In an effort to maximize this resource, USA Triathlon is collecting pictures, documents and suggestions to provide excellent examples to help other race directors improve their events. In addition, a travel program will allow race direc- tors to request on-site consultation from an Event Services staff member at their event.
Event Directors Insurance Program— USA Triathlon is happy to announce the availability of a business owner’s insurance policy that can be purchased by sanctioned event directors. These pieces of coverage are intended to fill certain exposure “gaps” not covered by the USA Triathlon event liability policy.
New Race Director On-Boarding— New race directors will be contacted and given helpful information when sanctioning an event for the first time. Helping new race directors feel welcome in the multisport community and pointing them in the right direction continues to be a priority for the Event Services team.
Social Networking— Please join the USA Triathlon Race Directors Google group, designed specifically for multi- sport race directors. This group provides the opportunity to network with race directors across the country, ask peers for advice and brainstorm ideas to improve your event.
Fast Pass— USA Triathlon Event Services Fast Pass is an early registration program for select events exclusively for USA Triathlon annual members. Qualifying events must meet the following criteria: at least 1,000 partici- pants, athletes from at least 15 states, sells out in less than one week and all contact information for one-day participants is submitted within 24 hours of the event.
Ideas for new race director support programs as well as ways to improve current programs are welcome. Please contact Event Services at
EventServices@usatriathlon.org to offer suggestions.
