Removing Financial Barriers

Austin Triathlon Club takes seriously its responsibility to reduce financial barriers to the sport of triathlon. The Club offers memberships at an affordable rate so that all members of the Austin community can participate. Wherever possible, the Club partners with local races and vendors to provide discounts for members. Group workouts, panel discussions, clinics, workshops, and training weekends are organized to be free and open to the public — money should never be a barrier to participation.

Supporting the Austin Triathlon Community

Austin Triathlon Club is a steward of the Austin triathlon community and supports local educators, coaches, gyms, shops, and races. We know that Austin is one of the best triathlon cities in America because of its vibrant fitness community. The Club endeavors to support Austinites who make their living through triathlon — by promoting the sport, encouraging newcomers, organizing volunteers for local races, and helping members take advantage of partner discounts.
