Become a USA Triathlon Official!

Nick Gallagher our social director is the only USAT offical in our community. I am going to join in and get trained this time around. Come with me to the training and I will buy you a couple of beers after. Dave Carlson President LV Tri Club... I am going to check with Shelly and see if it is possible to work a specified number of hours during the race to recieve certification. You know I have to suppot our troups at the aid station

The Officials Certification Clinic consists of about three hours of classroom lecture and working the associated practicum race.

A USAT Officials' Clinic will be held on Saturday, November 8, 2008 in conjunction with the Silverman Triathlon held Sunday November 9, 2008. In order to complete the certification, you must be able to attend the lecture on Saturday and work the race on Sunday from 5am into the afternoon. This is generally a lot of fun combined with some work.


To become a USA Triathlon official, one must participate in one of the many clinics held around the country each year. There is no charge for attending a clinic. One must be a member of USA Triathlon and bring the membership card or join at the clinic. Clinics are held in conjunction with a sanctioned event, and will have USA Triathlon officials assigned to marshal the race. The Officials Certification Clinic consists of about three hours of classroom lecture and discussion and working the associated practicum race - in this case, Silverman Triathlon.

The next clinic in the SW Region will be held on Saturday, November 8-9, 2008 in conjunction with the Silverman Triathlon. Clinic participants are expected to work the Silverman Triathlon as their practicum event. You must be able to participate in both the lecture and the race in order to attend the clinic.

To sign up for the Silverman clinic, please email to me at: Lydon@peoplepc.com.

Thank you for your interest.
