Overview
Mission
Our mission is to foster a culture of respect that welcomes athletes of all levels and gives back to the triathlon community as mentors, coaches, and volunteers.
What it reported doing in 2025
Our organized workouts take out the "intimidation" factor, which is critical for beginners but also can be ramped up to challenge the more experienced triathletes too. They present the rare opportunity for multi-sport athletes to train in a group setting before a race with a social aspect that you can't get training solo. Members also have access to USAT Certified Triathlon Coaches, gear, travel boxes, winter indoor workouts, and lots of discounts on races.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 72% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
