Whats is USAT and why the $15 fee?

USAT is the governing/sanctioning body for Triathlons. They provide rules for racing and guidelines for race safety that we must obey in order to be sanctioned by them. If you are a member then your fee is already paid. If you are not a USAT member, you must simply pay $15 in addition to your event registration to cover a one day "license". This is a pass-through cost for us and is required for the event insurance. An annual USAT membership costs $50, so if you are going to race in four USAT-sanctioned events, it makes sense for you to become an annual member. If you are not sure, then just opt for the one day license.
