Membership
Introduction
Annual Triathlon BC membership is highly recommended for any athlete, official, or coach that is actively involved in the sport of Triathlon or Duathlon.
Triathlon BC's annual fees are very reasonable, and provide many benefits to the member.
Membership is effective from April 1st to March 31st of each year, and is administered to align with government funding and fiscal reporting.
You must be a Canadian resident to qualify for Triathlon BC membership. For Elite and Junior Elite carding, you must be a resident of British Columbia and will be required to submit proof of such residency.
Triathlon BC insurance only covers medical costs above what would be provided by BC MSP while you are participating in approved Club training sessions and TriBC-sanctioned events. It does not cover damage or loss of equipment.
Annual Membership Fee Structure
The membership fee is based on a number of factors, namely, age and whether an individual belongs to an affiliated Club.
We encourage all members to become members of existing Clubs, or in cases where a Club may not exist, to form a new Club.
