Lexington, VA (January 14, 2025) – Cal Tri Events is pleased to announce Club 25, the ultimate VIP race perk that awards free races for life after an athlete completes their twenty- fifth Cal Tri race. Additionally, Club 25 membership will include VIP racking and an all-access wristband allowing athletes to skip packet pick- up race morning. Every Cal Tri Events race from 2015 to the present is eligible.
“We foresee that the founding member of Club 25 will be Virginian Eric Fletcher, who has completed 21 races and is slated to compete in four Cal Tri races in 2025. If all goes to plan, Eric will earn Club 25 status at the finish line at 2025 Cal Tri Charlottesville – 8.31.25. Eric is followed closely by Californian Brigid Freyne, who has completed 19 races, including Cal Tri’s first-ever race, 2015 Cal Tri LA, formerly known as Trick or Tri. “We hope to award her Club 25 status within a year,” predicted Thom Richmond, Cal Tri Events CEO.
Upon learning of his Club 25 eligibility, Eric shared, “Cal Tri Events embodies the ideal of ‘Triathlon is for everyone’, bringing fast, fun, affordable, and safe racing to everyone by putting the racers first. From free transfers and deferrals, free kids racing and a real focus on bringing new people to the sport, Cal Tri is a race series I am happy to support.“
