Our Crowdfunding Groups
Our crowdfunding campaign has ended but you can still support UCLA Triathlon by clicking here.
We are the UCLA Club Triathlon team. A a co-ed group of students who rise to the challenge of swimming, biking, and running - one after another in one single race! Since 2002, we have been able to create a network of support among teammates, dedicated alumni, and terrific coaches. Because of this, the connections we make extend far beyond the Pacific Coast Highway, the Student Activities Center pool, or Drake Stadium and last long after graduation. We've grown in numbers, ambition and competitiveness all the way to the national level. We train extensively but we also maintain a burrito-filled, lighthearted, and friendly atmosphere. In recent years, our combined team has placed second and third in the nation!
With your donations we will be able to conquer another successful participation at the Collegiate National Championship by helping us to cover the costs of lodging, transportation, registration, and food!
Because there are so many elements like lodging, transportation and nutrition as well as so much gear to triathlon, competing at Nationals is very expensive. This is why we’re asking for YOUR help. We greatly appreciate your donation because it will allow us to cover our Nationals costs, from race nutrition, registration, and getting us and our bikes to Arizona. Nationals is a tremendous race experience and your generosity allows us to perform at our best abilities.
Triathlon is an expensive sport and as students the cost adds up quickly. Your donation can help alleviate the stress and financial worry of raising enough money to go to Nationals. Whether your donation provides a burrito, help with registration, bike transportation, or the full cost to compete, you will be making a difference. With your help and generosity, you can provide the difference for many athletes to be able to attend Nationals that otherwise may not have been able to compete. So let’s race well and have some fun at Nationals this year!
From all of us at UCLA Club Triathlon, we would like to thank you in advance for your support and for helping us to realize our racing goals this year!
The UCLA Club Triathlon team is shooting to compete at the Collegiate National Championship, which is made up of a 1500 meter swim, 40k bike ride, and 10k run on April 4th 2020! From January to April every year, we prepare for nationals by competing in races around California. What makes triathlon so challenging is the time it takes to train for all three components of one race! As student athletes, we have 12 practices each week starting in the Fall, which let us stay on top of our class schedules, as well as our desired training volume. Almost all of us join the team coming from swimming OR running backgrounds with no triathlon experience. Although we are all new to triathlon, we realize that the sport is a lifestyle and we are excited to continue racing and training for triathlons beyond our time at UCLA.
For now, we have our eyes set on racing as fast as we can at this year’s Collegiate Club National Championships in Tempe, Arizona!
With a donation of $5 you're already helping us in the bike leg of nationals! It's a long race, and we need to refuel throughout. Supply one racer with nutrition and help us avoid cramps!
As a team we are so committed to eating burritos that we are the Breakfast Burrito Club! So provide a racer with a much-loved burrito meal the night before the race!
We'll all be biking 25 miles on race day, sponsor one racer $1 for each mile
House one athlete for our time at nationals! We love to eat, sleep, and breathe triathlon, but we also prefer to sleep indoors before races. Pay for one athlete's bed/couch during our time at nationals!
A triathlon takes quite a toll on your body. But it also takes a toll before you can even start! Registration costs $120 per person this year. Pay for one racer to register for nationals.
Once we get to (and crush) the race, we still have to drive back. $200 will pay for the gas of one vehicle to get from LA to Arizona and back. Help us avoid hitch-hiking!
Nice! You just registered 4 athletes for nationals! The top 4 finishers score points for our team. Thanks to you, we can compete in the team division.
Pay to register 4 women and 4 men for nationals. Now we have a full team in each division, and can compete for the combined title.
