Last Weekend: Cal Tri competes at Treeathlon
This past weekend, we competed at Stanford’s Treeathlon (see photos above). Our athletes placed 1st and 2nd in the men’s draft legal, 3rd in the men’s classic race and 5th in the women’s classic race! As we gear up for Nationals in Gulfport, Mississippi in March, we are excited to bring even more energy and competitiveness to the course. However, we cannot make it to Nationals without your support. Every donation, no matter how small, helps us subsidize the rising costs of travel and race registration so that we can bring the largest team possible to the race.
Only 10 Days Left: Support Cal Triathlon during Crowdfunding!
Dear Cal Triathlon Community,
Thank you for your continued support of Cal Tri! We have about 10 days left of our 2026 Crowdfunding Campaign and we need your help! We are currently only at 25% of our fundraising goal. We receive NO funding from UC Berkeley. We can only continue to operate as a team through the financial backing of team fundraising efforts and membership dues.
Donate here: https://crowdfund.berkeley.edu/triathlon26
We seek to bring the triathlon lifestyle to anyone interested and promote triathlon to the greater UC Berkeley community, regardless of their financial ability to participate. The cost of training equipment, dues, and race travel can be expensive for any college student and a barrier for those hoping to get involved in the sport. For example, it costs us over $600 per athlete just to attend Nationals, and it would not be possible for our athletes to attend Nationals without your donation.
All donations are tax deductible, and we also accept checks and corporate matching. Please email minnoli@berkeley.edu for more details. Additionally, we have a variety of exciting perks that you can check out on our page.
We hope you’ll consider supporting or sharing our campaign with others.
Thank you and Go Bears!
$12,000 Stretch Goal!
We have successfully reached our goal of fundraising $10,000! We are so grateful to everyone who has donated so far - our team would not be the same without you! In the last 5 days of our campaign, we have raised our fundraising goal to $12,000, which would give us an even greater ability to support our athletes financially. If you are willing, please share our fundraising link with friends and family to help us reach our next goal! Thank you all so much.
