Lexington, VA - Cal Tri Events congratulates Eric Fletcher on becoming the first-ever member of Club 25 following his finish at 2025 Cal Tri Walnut Creek on August 17, 2025.
Eric achieved this milestone after years of dedication, consistency, and passion for the sport of triathlon.
Club 25 is the ultimate VIP race perk that awards free races for life after an athlete completes their 25th Cal Tri Events race. Club 25 membership also includes VIP racking and an all-access wristband that allows athletes to skip packet pickup on race morning. Every Cal Tri Events race from 2015 to the present is eligible.
“Eric embodies everything Cal Tri is about - commitment, community, and celebrating the journey,” said Thom Richmond, CEO of Cal Tri Events. “Reaching 25 races is a huge accomplishment, and we are honored to recognize Eric as the very first member of Club 25.”
Cal Tri Events looks forward to welcoming more athletes into Club 25 in the years ahead, but Eric Fletcher will forever hold the distinction of being the pioneer - the very first to cross the threshold into this elite group.
