Magazine

USA Triathlon and Triathlete have joined together to provide USA Triathlon annual members an unprecedented quarterly publication. This joint, premium 100-plus-page publication will still include the latest news, updates, event coverage and storytelling around the multisport community from USA Triathlon, as well as Triathlete editors' expertise and in-depth features and columns to deliver North America’s premier source of information about races, training, nutrition, technique, and gear.

USA Triathlon annual members should expect to see the first joint issue in mid-March with the March/April issue - each joint issue will be flipbook style with Triathlete on one side and USA Triathlon Magazine on the other side. It really is two magazines in one!

What does this mean for USA Triathlon annual members?

USA Triathlon annual members will receive the four quarterly premium editions of the new, joint magazine. These will arrive automatically to all USA Triathlon annual members.
They are now Triathlete Pass members (valued at $50, included at no additional cost with their Annual Membership), with access to exclusive member-only content on Triathlete, an ad-free digital experience, personalized feed and industry discounts
Once members activate their Triathlete Pass online account, Triathlete will send members two additional issues per year as a standalone — totaling six total magazines annually for USA Triathlon members.

Welcome to our first-ever combined issue of USA Triathlon Magazine and Triathlete!

That’s right — Triathlete and USA Triathlon have teamed up to bring you a new, joint magazine, along with access to exclusive online content now included as part of your Annual Membership. You’ll not only be getting North America’s premier source of information about races, training, nutrition, technique and gear, but also complimentary access to Triathlete Pass, a hub of exclusive online content, industry discounts and more housed at Triathlete — a $50 value, with no increase to the cost of your current $50 USA Triathlon Annual Membership.

In this debut combo issue, read about the inspiring stories and heroes that defined a turbulent and unforgettable 2020. And as you plot your return to racing, read how race directors plan to implement USA Triathlon’s Safe Return to Multisport Guidelines during this COVID-19 era of racing. Also, if you haven’t been in the pool in a while, don’t fret — implement these 10 tips to get back your feel for the water.

Triathlete's section brings you the robust annual Buyer's Guide, as well a training plan to get you race ready.

We’re excited about this new partnership with Outside and Triathlete. While USA Triathlon Magazine may look and feel different, together with Triathlete, we’re aligned in our desire to increase participation, improve education, and innovate new ways for triathletes to enjoy the sport.
