Triathlon Club Participation Programs
As always, the PHLYTRI enthusiastically welcomes the involvement of local and non-local triathlon clubs, regardless of location or size.  In 2012, the program includes Expo booth space, tailgate assistance, a club Challenge which awards complimentary Olympic Distance Race slots for the 2012 race, and a rebate program for USAT-registered clubs.

1) Expo Booth Space - Recruit new members at the PHLYTRI Expo!
Do you want to promote your triathlon club and recruit new members at the PHLYTRI Expo? If so, we will provide you with free expo booth space in exchange for your Club's commitment to provide a minimum of 15 volunteers over the course of the weekend. Volunteers can include friends and/or family members of club members. The Expo is open to the public on Friday, June 22 from 12 noon to 8pm and Saturday, June 23 from 10am to 4pm. (Registration remains open until 6pm.) You must agree to have a representative at your booth the entire period the Expo is open (and this person does not count as one of the 15 volunteers).

2) Tailgate Assistance - We'll help you with your gear!
As those of you who have done the race before know, the walk from the parking area to the finish line can be 1/2 to 1 mile, depending upon where you park. We can not allow clubs to drive their vehicles down the hill to drop off their tailgate gear at the finish line area for safety reasons. As an added bonus, if your club provides at least 25 volunteers, we will provide help with getting your celebration "stuff" (tailgate gear, non-perishable food and beverages) down the hill at a designated time the afternoon before each race. (We will help you back up at a designated time in the afternoon of each race as well). Overnight security will be provided.

To take advantage of these benefits, please go here to register your volunteers.  Make sure you and your friends/family members include your club designation in the "comment" box (even if they are not club members) so your club gets credit for them.  If you have already registered as a volunteer, but did not include your club designation, please email phillytrivolunteers@yahoo.com with your name and tri club affiliation.  If you are interested in Expo booth space or tailgate assistance, please have one club representative email Kirsten Young at kly4120@yahoo.com or call her at 267-992-2776 by May 1.  Additional instructions will follow but please ask your volunteers to register by Friday, June 8.

3)  Club Challenge - Win free race slots for the 2013 race!
The 2012 Club Challenge will reward both participation and performance regardless of club size.  Clubs will be able to accumulate points for both the Sprint race and the Olympic race, and points will be awarded for overall and age-group placing, as well as participation.  Points will be awarded for both races as follows:

First overall:                   10 points
Second overall:                 8 points
Third overall:                    6 points
First in age-group*:           5 points
Second in age-group*:       4 points
Third  in age-group*:         3 points
Team with the most finishers (both days):  35 points
Team with the second highest number of finishers (both days): 25 points
Team with the third highest number of finishers (both days): 15 points

*Including Masters and Clydesdale categories. 

4)  USAT Tri Club Rebate Program - Get money for your club!
For every member of your club who registers for the PHLYTRI, we will donate $5 per person to your club, up to $500. Make sure to include your team designation when you register.  In order to qualify for this benefit, your club must be a USA Triathlon registered club. If your club is not currently USAT registered, please go here.  Rebates will be issued following the 2012 race.

If you have any questions about the 2012 Tri Club Program, please email Kirsten Young at kly4120@yahoo.com.
