MIT Triathlon

Membership

How to practice with the team:

We welcome athletes of all levels and abilities to join us at a practice before joining the team. To attend a practice, you must first:

  1.  Sign the MIT waiver: https://clubsports.mit.edu/join-a-club/. Click on “triathlon” and use your email to log in and submit the waiver (if you are MIT affiliated, please use your MIT email).

How to join the team:

1. Confirm you have completed step 1 above (signed the waiver!)

2. Pay dues (MIT Tri Dues)

3. Subscribe to our email list here to receive weekly emails with up-to-date information about weekly practices as well as any team announcements.

4. Join the Slack! (MIT Tri Slack) This is the primary method of communication within the team. General announcements, informal workouts, race planning, and more happen here.

For the Triathlon Team, we have two types of memberships, and a membership is good for one year from the payment date. Please see the table below for dues and follow the directions to submit payment. If you have questions about your affiliation, please reach out to tri-exec@mit.edu

Non-Racing Members:

We ask that if you are regularly attending workouts, you please pay this level of dues to help support the club’s costs and growth, even if you will not be racing often with the club. This level of membership gives access to renting club equipment and all sponsorship deals the club has (e.g. Xterra wetsuits).

Racing members: 

This membership level provides the same benefits as above, and in addition allows you to race at any number of the season’s targeted (club-sponsored) races and get reimbursed for registration and transportation. Please note that the registration fee might be only partially reimbursed for some races. Dues cover one entire season of racing and must be paid before your first race.
