COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.— USA Triathlon today announced it has aligned with TicketSocket, an innovator in fully customized white label ticketing solutions, as the organization’s Exclusive Online Registration Partner for the next five years.

USA Triathlon race directors will have the opportunity to explore TicketSocket’s services through online demonstrations with company representatives in the coming weeks.
