DEIA

DEIA stands for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access. DEIA in endurance sport activities like USAT (USA Triathlon) ensures that every athlete is able to participate and compete fairly, irrespective of their background. DEIA breaks down barriers for populations that don’t always have equal support, treats everyone equally, and provides equal opportunity in training as well as competition. DEIA makes the sport an open environment for athletes of varying races, gender, abilities, and incomes, which is motivating for more individuals to participate in the sport.
