Do we need to do TriMark Bronze accreditation before we affiliate?
TriMark Club Bronze is compulsory for all Community clubs with juniors (U18). If you are a Community club with junior athletes and you have not completed TriMark Bronze you will not be allowed to affiliate to British Triathlon until it has been completed. Please contact your Regional Manager for support and for further information look at the British Triathlon Accreditation pages.
When does affiliation close each year?
Club affiliation will expire on 31 December each year, so you will need to have completed the process before then to ensure that you do not have a gap between the two. There may be a delay in conpleting the affiliation process due to Christmas office closures.
However, the affiliation process remains open throughout the year to support new clubs or those that might have missed the deadline.
If you have any queries, please email clubs@britishtriathlon.org

What information do we need to provide in order to affiliate our club? Why do you need all of this?
The club affiliation form asks you to provide some basic information about your club – name, type of club, number of members, location and session details. We use this to promote your club on our club finder and to check on the changes in club membership over time.
We also ask you to provide details of key members of your club – Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and, where required, a Club Welfare Officer. These details allow us to communicate appropriate information to these people during the year.
Finally, we ask for details of your coaches and activators/leader. This allows us to ensure that they are sanctioned to coach/lead sessions and that your club is as safe as it can be.

We are a single discipline club and have 300 running club members but only 20 who do triathlon. How much do we have to pay?
You should declare your club members that participate in triathlon or multisport activities within your club. This number will determine which pricing category you fall into under the Single Discipline type club.
How long does it take to get through the affiliation process?
The affiliation form should take only a few minutes to complete, provided that you have got all of the information together before you start.
After you submit, we will review the form within a few working days. If everything is in place, we will be able to approve the form and enable you to make payment and complete the process. If we need additional information from you, this will depend upon how quickly we can get everything resolved with you.
