USA Triathlon Strategic Plan
We are dedicated to growing the sport and serving its participants in new and innovative ways.
Introducing Elevate 2028: USA Triathlon’s 2021-2028 Strategic Plan #
USA Triathlon’s Elevate 2028 Strategic Plan will guide the organization’s priorities, decision-making processes and culture through the next two Olympic and Paralympic Quadrennials. The robust set of guiding principles, goals and strategies will enable USA Triathlon to grow participation, provide unmatched support to the multisport community, and reach vast new audiences culminating at the Olympic and Paralympic Games Los Angeles 2028.
Elevate 2028 is intentionally extended through 2028 to mark the moment when the Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games will return to the United States — to Southern California, the birthplace of triathlon — for the first time in 32 years. The LA 2028 Games will mark the first time triathlon is contested in the Olympic and Paralympic Games on U.S. soil, providing the opportunity to build a legacy in the U.S. and create mainstream exposure for the sport on an unprecedented scale.
Vision: To grow, inspire and support the triathlon/multisport community.
Mission: To provide resources that empower members of the triathlon/multisport community to reach their full potential.
