Membership Options

Join Here
Multisport Membership $139 (renewals $119):  This is the basic membership for any adult looking to train and race with us for endurance or multisport events.  Annual members can take advantage of all Sponsor and RTB discounts and benefits.  The fee  is $119 for both new members and returning members. 

Multisport Adult Add-on $69:  If both you and an adult child, partner, or spouse in your household race, add the 2nd person for an additional $69.  That person can take advantage of all RTB member benefits - just like the Annual Member.  

RTB Lite   $49:   This option is for any individual athlete who wants to jump into - or stay connected to   RTB and participate in team workouts, socials, special events, and communication.   It's also great for Single-sport athletes. There is no expectation to compete in any events  or purchase a uniform. RTB Lite is also for the fitness enthusiast who needs some folks to hang out with or members who are dialing it back a little. There are no Race Fee or Training Discounts, but you can take advantage of sponsor benefits.  

RTB Swim $69:   We have coached swim workouts throughout the year,  summer Open Water workouts and races happening. If you are a swimmer and don't need all the bells and whistles of the full membership, this is for you.  You'll save 10% - 25% off the published fees of swims and events

     Raise the Bar Multisport Membership Agreement

     Membership Term:   Your membership will be active for 12 months from the date of purchase. At the beginning of member’s expiration month, members will receive a notification from RTB and will have until the end of the expiration month to renew. 

    Sponsor Provision:   The sponsors of RTB's team agree to provide discounts, goods and services to team members and team management to the extent they are willing and able and as negotiated with team management. Sponsor benefits can be found on the Members-Only section of the website. 

    Management Provision
    Raise the Bar LLC, Management of the Multisport Team, agrees to support team members in the following ways: 
    • Provide a team structure in which athletes can positively experience multisport and meet their goals for competition and success
    • Provide current, sound, safe training information
    • Provide a strong sponsorship package to enhance the experience of the athletes and increase the value of membership
    • Communicate as clearly as possible the team objectives and activities on a regular basis
    Member Responsibilities:   All members are asked to:
    • Have at least 1 current team race uniform top if planning to race in the current season.  Team shorts strongly encouraged. 
    • The uniform really unifies the team at events and during training. It also supports our sponsors. This is why we require that all members wear the team uniform and other team clothing items (jackets, sweatshirts, etc.) at local races and while training as is practical, and any other sponsor-related clothing as often as possible at multisport-related events or training. If you are affiliated with another multisport group or coach who also has a kit, we require that you wear RTB at all local events here in Washington State. If you anticipate a conflict at any event, please contact Patty prior to that event. 
    • Pay annual team membership dues.
    • Maintain an active email account that is regularly checked for important announcements.
    • Conduct yourself in a positive, responsible, sports-person-like manner at all times, both while racing and training.  And have fun out there!
    • When racing – follow the rules of the race and of the sport.  
    • Provide appropriate support and encouragement to other team members, both in training and in racing.
    • Agree to intend to participate in multisport or single-sport events when possible. RTB understands that family & work commitments, injuries, and unforeseen circumstances can disrupt an athlete’s ability to compete.
    • Keep confidential any information intended for team members only. This includes sponsor benefits, race fee discounts, members-only passwords, etc.

    Positive Representation for Sponsors: The services, merchandise, resources, and equipment provided by our sponsors have been given with the spirit of generosity and with the intention to make your team experience better. Out of respect for that generosity, we ask the following:  

    Members are required to respect the following guidelines
    • Sponsor deals are confidential: they are not to be discussed with other teams, retail stores, vendors, or other athletes outside of this team. Divulging prices or deals to other people, businesses, or entities outside the team undermines our gratitude to them and can jeopardize future negotiations. 
    • Don't acquire sponsor items with the intent to resell. 
    • Refrain from making derogatory comments about a sponsor, their equipment, the company, or their representatives
    • Complaints about products or services provided by sponsors of Raise the Bar should be directed to Patty at patty@weraisethebar.com. She can help make sure your feedback gets to the sponsors in an appropriate fashion that doesn’t risk our relationship with them.
    • Sponsorship negotiations are only to be conducted by team management or individuals appointed by management to do so. Members may not engage in negotiations with sponsors.
    • Athletes items purchased and shipped to Raise the Bar not picked up within 3 months of purchase will become property of Raise the Bar.
    After reading the complete RTB AWRL and Membership Agreement, please indicate your willingness to comply below by submitting your agreement and electronic signature below:
    You're getting close becoming a member!  When you hit submit you'll be directed to the RTB online store where you can purchase your membership.  We're looking forward to being in touch with you!
