Membership Hub and Race Calendar FAQs

Please reference these frequently asked questions regarding USA Triathlon's new Membership Hub (launched June 2, 2021) and new Race Calendar (launching early 2022). 

RACE CALENDAR

What features are beneficial for race directors?

We have completely updated the Race Calendar and the Find-a-Race function. With a new design, more capabilities, and a more targeted focus, athletes will be able to find your events quicker than before and with the updated race calendar they will be able to engage with your event and learn more without leaving the system. We also have built out an event widget that will use geolocation to match events to athletes once they login to the new system.

 

Do I need to sanction my event again?

No, you will not need to sanction your event again. You will be able to go in and add information into the new fields (that will feed to the new calendar), but you won’t have to start again from the beginning.

 

Will anything change in the sanctioning system?

We will be adding a few new fields to the sanctioning system that help us populate the new race calendar with more information that will provide a better experience for members and allow you to better represent your race on the calendar

MEMBERSHIP HUB

What features are beneficial for race directors?
Reliability in the system, a more user-friendly experience for members and increased promotion of local races through a variety of avenues. Additional features and benefits will be rolled out over the coming weeks and months.  

Why do I have to go through this process to activate my account?

Your user information is encrypted for security purposes in both our old and new systems. As we switch to the new Membership Hub your old username and password will no longer work. Please note the new Membership Hub does not limit you to using your member number to log in to give you additional flexibility. Activating your account is a one-time process and you will not have to go through it again once you have initially signed into the new Membership Hub.

 

REGISTRATION/RTAV IMPACT

Will current members need to do anything?
Current members will have to activate their account in the new system through an email activation but will not need to do anything with their membership as that information will be transferred into the new system. This is for both one-day and annual members. USA Triathlon will send an activation email to all current annual members to access their account. The email activation will instruct that member on what to do to ensure their account and email address are correct and to gain access to the new system.

What will change for my athletes when they go to register?
The basic functionality will remain the same but the user interface will have an enhanced look and feel designed to streamline the registration process.

Will there be any changes to RTAV?
Yes! We have been working with the registration companies (previously using the API) to adjust their connection to our new system. The new endpoints are built on a newer technology which has added stability and efficiency for the registration as well as those using them to purchase a membership from USA Triathlon.

 

SANCTIONING/POST-RACE IMPACT

Has my sanctioning system login changed? 
Yes, you will now use the same login credentials for both the new Membership Hub and the sanctioning system. After activating your account, you will be prompted to create a new username and password, which will serve as your login information for both the new Membership Hub and the sanctioning system. When creating your username and password, you are welcome to use the same log-in credentials you are using in the current system as long as your password is at least six characters.

Do I need to edit my existing event in the sanctioning system?
No, you do not need to edit or update your existing event in the sanctioning system. 

Will the post-race requirements change?
No, the post-race requirements have not changed.

Will I still use the same location to share my results?
For now, you will use the same method as you have in the past. 

MEMBERSHIP HUB

What features are beneficial for coaches?
Increased promotions of your services to members and an enhanced user interface. The upgraded Find A Coach tool will enable members to find a coach close to their city and search by a coach’s certification level, specialty and multisport discipline.
