Membership
Can I set up a family membership?
British Triathlon do not offer a family membership package. To best cater for individuals in their swim, bike, run journey; individuals need to have their own membership package. We do offer a discount for familes. For more information please contact the membership team on membership@britishtriathlon.org or call 01509 837137
I would like to race abroad will my membership cover me?
If your membership package includes a race licence (Core and Ultimate packages), your licence is endorsed by British Triathlon for the purpose of competing in National and International competitions which means you may not have to pay the event organiser a Race Pass fee. Certainly for Europe Triathlon and World Triathlon Age-Group Championships it does. You may also be covered for some elements under our insurance policy depending on your membership package, full detail about what insurance is included can be found here
Our Ultimate membership package provides the most comprehensive Public Liability and Personal Accident cover for racing and training abroad, to read more about what races and training you are covered for under the Ultimate membership please read the below list of event organisers:
World Triathlon, Europe Triathlon, ASTC, ATU, OTU and CAMTRI events (as listed on the World Triathlon events search - https://www.triathlon.org/events), Triathlon Ireland (as listed on the Triathlon Ireland events search - https://www.triathlonireland.com/Events/Race-Calendar/), Challenge Family, IRONMAN, Powerman, Xterra, Xtri, Castle Race Series and Super League Triathlon sanctioned events.
