Visit the Team In Training website (see the link in Resources). You will need to register with the local chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. A representative from a nearby chapter will contact you and discuss what regional triathlon events are in your area. TNT also holds local recruiting events at major cities across the United States. You can contact the organization to learn more about events in your area. - Once you have registered for your triathlon event, create your fundraising page. You can refer friends, family and the public to this web page. Anyone can donate and keep track of your training progress. This page is typically written with a personal reflection on the impact of the LLS or your personal thoughts on the disease. Individual fundraising donations are broken into different groups, including Star, Super, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Titanium. Visitors can click a button next to these groups to indicate the amount they would like to donate.
- Team In Training was named the "Number One Charity Sports Training Program" by Competitor magazine. Thousands enjoy the logistical support the charity provides for triathlon training by arranging coaches and support crews that train and meet you during your training sessions with refreshments and training aids. TNT also arranges the travel, accommodations and race entry fee. TNT provides a group atmosphere that is pleasant and encouraging. Groups of athletes ranging in skill are grouped together to ensure that group dynamics are smooth.
- Team In Training provides and coordinates training groups. During the week, your group will train together in swimming, cycling and running. These workouts are usually smaller in group size as individuals coordinate between themselves and daily obligations. On the weekends, TNT provides a coach and support crew that will meet you at designated training areas for your workouts. Weekend workouts tend to have the entire group participating. The support crews meet you at certain points along a cycling or running path and provide encouragement and refreshments.
- TNT provides an engaging area for their members on race day. A large tent with the organization's logo is visible to the public. Music, food and other relaxing activities are available for all TNT racers after the triathlon to celebrate the past few months of training and funds raised for the LLS.
