Media Credentials
USA Triathlon encourages all media to attend USA Triathlon and international triathlon events. Media should request credentials through USAT Communications. However, there may be a limitation on the number of credentials issued for a specific event. USA Triathlon will first consider major national media, local media where the event is held and specialty media that cover triathlon regularly when issuing approval. Credentials for International Triathlon Union events held in the United States should be requested through ITU Communications.

Tips for Photographers
Many races offer media vehicles, but once on the vehicle it may not stop until the race is over. Other recommended viewing areas are the swim start, swim finish, transition area and finish line. Photographers may wish to wade into shallow water to shoot the swim start. It can often be difficult to determine the best place from which to photograph the transition, though it's usually near the entrance or exit. Find out in advance where the entrance and exit will be and set up outside the fencing. Often the swim entrance and the run exit are the best places for quality photographs, because the athletes are moving slower and are upright (many times cyclists are bent over adjusting their shoes). Please be careful near the transition area. Stay outside of the fencing and out of the flow of traffic.

Medical Note
The medical tent or building is usually located near the finish line and is always closed to media. As with all sports, the safety of the athletes is paramount - please respect the wishes of all medical personnel attending to athletes.
