  3. Join our GroupMe (ask a member at any practice and we can add you!)

Membership:
Active membership shall be limited to persons officially and currently enrolled, employed, or connected with the University of Maryland College Park. This includes the following: UMD-CP faculty, staff, registered students (undergraduate and graduate), and Maryland Alumni Association members (Please note Alumni can only represent 10% of the club roster). UMD affiliates and Shady Grove students are not eligible.

​​Active members of “Maryland Club Triathlon” are entitled to a vote in club proceedings. In addition, the following requirements are necessary to constitute active membership: 
1. Fees are not required for voting, active membership. 
2. Fees are not required for participation in any “Maryland Club Triathlon” sanctioned race but membership fees will provide a discounted race registration.  
3. Members must be listed on the most current online roster, accessible via Terplink. 
4. Active participation in any choice of activities, including but not limited to practices, races and volunteering, sponsored by "Maryland Triathlon". 

"Maryland Club Triathlon" does not restrict membership or discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, personal appearance, age, national origin, political affiliation, physical or mental disability, or on the basis of rights secured by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Benefits:
Some of the benefits you will have as a member of Maryland Club Triathlon:
  • Sponsorship Discounts
    • Team members are eligible for discounts on services and gear from our sponsors. Look out for an email from our Outreach Chair with details. 
  • Team Gear
    • We will provide various opportunities to receive Maryland Club Triathlon Gear (including but not limited to our super cool triathlon suits!). There will be an order through Club Sports in the fall and the apparel arrives and is distributed in the following spring.
  • Team Events
    • We host many events outside of practice including tailgates, movie nights, bowling, our annual Friendsgiving and more. Plans are usually formed in the team GroupMe so make sure you join.
  • Lifelong friends & Memories
    • This sport is a unique environment where you can go at whatever pace you’d like. For some, that is pushing their body to its furthest limits, and for others, it’s a way to stay in shape and do it with some fellow Terps. In the process, you're sure to meet some amazing friends that will hopefully last longer than your short time here at UMD.
Getting started:
To learn more about the team, show up to a workout and introduce yourself! (See our practice calendar for information on times and locations.) Look for one of our Officers or send us an email at [email protected] if you have any questions. Before coming to practice, please join our club on Terplink and IMLeagues. For liability purposes, make sure to follow the steps above to be on our official roster before attending any practices or events.
