The inaugural USA Triathlon Foundation Tri Club Challenge creates a pathway for some of our sport’s biggest supporters to make an impact toward specific nationwide projects designed to growth youth participation, increase access and inclusion, and bolster athlete development in multisport:
From April 1 through June 30, members of USA Triathlon Official Clubs and their supporters can donate through their club's fundraising page.
USA Triathlon Official Clubs are invited to REGISTER and customize their own club fundraising webpage and profile hosted on the USA Triathlon Foundation website. Over the course of the 13-week challenge, each club and its members will utilize this unique donation page and link to raise funds in support of focused nationwide initiatives.
Check the CHALLENGE LEADERBOARD for updates tracking fundraising impact among clubs representing cities across the country.
