What do I get for finishing?

Awards and clothing will be presented to everyone that completes the Texas Tri Series. In addition, there will be a finisher party with food, drinks, and tons of prizes.

Why do I have to register for the series itself?

You must register for the Texas Tri Series so that you may be tracked throughout the series. The registration is free.

Does anyone win the series?

How do I get credit for being a volunteer?

First, you must register as a volunteer online using your USAT number if you have one. (Don't worry if you don't have a USAT number. We'll figure out who you are.) Second, you must check in with the volunteer coordinator on the day of the event and complete your assignment.

What if the event has more than one race distance?

You may do the distance of your choice and you will be given full credit for the series. However, if you are interested in tracking your overall cumulative time, then you must do the longest distance available at each event.
