Cal Tri Events Shares Results From Industry Leading Transfer & Deferral Policy
Touted as the best 15 words in triathlon: free race transfers, deferrals & participant transfers as late as the day before the race, Cal Tri Events is providing its athlete community an industry leading transfer and deferral policy.
“20-25% of athletes at each race are choosing to preserve their race entry fees by transferring or deferring to a later race with no reason required and no additional fees. When they are ready to race, we will be there for them,” said Thom Richmond, CEO of Cal Tri Events.
He added, “This type of policy aligns the athlete and the race around both financial and safety factors. Third- party insurance schemes have been made redundant and there have been some positive consequences. As an example, athletes who are either unprepared or uninterested in racing in inclement weather are not forced to make the choice to preserve their race fees by taking unwanted risks. They are able to transfer to a later date, creating a safer environment for all involved.”
Using the RunSignUp registration platform, the process is 100% automated and is completed by the athletes themselves.
Cal Tri Events, a 501(c)3, is the largest national short-course triathlon series in the U.S..

Austin Fire Department Rescues Bike
Firefighter appreciation isn’t just a once a year affair. Firefighters are there for each of us every day and were reminded of their impact this week. Cal Tri Events received a cryptic email from Garrett Wiruscheske, “I’m with the Austin fire department I believe we found your bike. It’s at station 15. Please call us to identify the bike and you can come get it.” The bike still had sticker #3688 from 2022 Cal Tri Austin on the top tube. With that piece of information, connecting the bike to its owner, Yaki Tsaig, was a breeze. Per Yaki, the bike had fallen off the back of his vehicle the day before.
“Thank you so much for picking up my bike and doing the detective work to find me and reach out! I didn’t expect to see the bike again. Glad to report that it sustained only minor damage and will be as good as new with a little servicing,” reported Yaki.
We want to express our gratitude to the Austin Fire Department. 2023 Cal Tri Austin – 4.2.23 is just a few days away and there will undoubtedly be a care package delivered to Station 15 on behalf of Cal Tri Events.
