It is no secret that triathlons are prohibitively expensive. The expenses associated with training, equipment, and race entry fees can easily surpass thousands of dollars. These expenses limit the sport's diversity and prevent the potential benefits of triathlon from reaching a wider audience. To create a more inclusive and equitable triathlon community, it is critical to address these financial barriers and make the sport accessible to individuals from all socioeconomic backgrounds.

The Triathlon Giving Pledge is simple:

"For the next race I sign up for, I will strive to contribute the equivalent entry fee to another participant who cannot afford it."

By signing this Change.org petition, you agree that we should create a more inclusive triathlon community. Perhaps you also sign the Triathlon Giving Pledge, or perhaps you contribute to inclusivity in other ways. Regardless, thank you for your support.
