At Cal Tri Events, we proudly boast "the best 15 words in triathlon":
Free race transfers, deferrals, and participant transfers, as late as the day before the race.
These words aren't just a tagline. They're a promise. They reflect our commitment to creating an athlete-first experience that values safety, flexibility, and peace of mind.
What Makes This Policy So Special
Many race organizations have strict, no-change policies. At Cal Tri Events, supporting athletes means meeting them where they are. Our Free Race Transfer + Deferral Policy allows athletes to make last-minute changes without losing their registration or fees.
The Deferral Process: Two Steps That Matter
Step 1: Defer Your Race
This first step puts your registration on hold.
- Deadline: 11:59 PM the day before your race
- Result: Your registration is protected
- How to Defer Registration →
Step 2: Claim Your Deferral
After the initial deferral, you must log back in and claim your entry once registration opens for the next year.
- Deadline: December 31 at 11:59 PM of the same year
- Result: You're officially entered into your new race
- How to Claim a Deferred Registration →
If Step 2 isn't completed by the deadline, your registration expires and cannot be reinstated.
