Our Crowdfunding Groups
Crowdfund UC Davis thanks all of the donors who gave to this important project in February. This campaign has closed, but you can still support our program by making a donation.
The UC Davis Triathlon Club challenges athletes from all levels of fitness and experience to compete in an endurance race composed of swimming, cycling, and running. At the end of the race season, members of our team are selected to compete at the Collegiate Club Triathlon National Championships. Last year, in Malibu, our women's team placed 3rd and our men took 11th, for a combined 9th place finish. This year we need your help to get our incredible triathletes to Nationals at the Lake Lanier Islands in Buford, Georgia.
Members often join the team with a background in a single discipline and must learn to train and purchase gear for two additional sports to be ready to race. Our team partners with several sponsors to help our collegiate triathletes obtain the needed race nutrition, wetsuits, cycling gear, and uniforms at a more affordable cost. We also have a bike rental program, for new athletes to participate in our group rides without dropping thousands of dollars on a new bike.
But in order to get to Nationals, we need flights, bike transport, and a hotel to get our team across the country. The pandemic has driven travel costs up and we want to reduce the price barrier for our athletes so that both new and experienced members can get the opportunity to experience elite racing. Our dedicated members have been preparing to compete all year while balancing schoolwork, jobs, and other commitments on top of 7-12 training sessions, but we can't get all the way there without your help! Please support UCD Tri so our triathletes can show the nation what we're made of. Go Ags!
This will provide in-race nutrition (gels, energy bars, etc.) for one athlete during nationals.
This will pay for parts to a "flat kit" which will help athletes fix their bikes in a pinch if needed.
This will provide one day of renting a car to get to and from the race.
This will provide transportation for one bike to get from California to Georgia.
This will provide one bed in a hotel room for one athlete to go to Nationals.
