Club Benefits


Join the RICHMOND TRIATHLON CLUB, Central Virginia’s largest and most comprehensive support group for new and experienced multisport athletes!

We’re THE source to help you:
-- learn the nuts and bolts of triathlon as a beginner,
-- step up your level of skill and endurance as an experienced
triathlete,
-- connect with training partners, and
-- meet some terrific and inspirational people!

Here's what you get as an RTC member:

1) Skills Clinics. As an RTC member, you'll be granted free (or, in
some cases, discounted) access to the clinics that are sure to make you a stronger athlete! Our clinics are hosted by regionally- and nationally-recognized professionals and address such topics as race nutrition, how to train for and race your first triathlon and proper swim technique. Some are lecture while others are hands-on. All of them are jam-packed with valuable information -- and they're offered in the off-seasons as well as race season.

2) TriNews Email. You'll receive a weekly email (tri-weekly during the off-season) keeping you abreast of upcoming races, group workouts, clinics and socials. Having access to the TriNews will help you learn what races are popular and when they're filling up. You'll also be kept up to speed on specials that are being offered by club sponsors.

3) Group Workouts. Tired of working out alone? Throughout the year, the RTC hosts many opportunities for you to participate in official group workouts of varying types including Tuesday night road rides, Wednesday night mountain bike rides, evening Masters swim practices and weekend brick workouts (swim/bike or bike/run). More importantly, there are almost 400 athletes in this club! After attending a few clinics and socials, you're bound to find a handful of partners that'll get you ready for the next race season!

4) Sponsor Discounts. RTC members enjoy discounts of 10-40% off products and services offered by the club's fantastic sponsors. You'll save on everything from apparel and equipment to training and wellness. For a full summary of these discounts, click here.

5) Race Discounts. All RTC members receive a $5 discount on race application fees associated with both the 3Sports Duathlon and the 3Sports Sprint Triathlon.

6) Friends and Fans. If you couldn't care less about the benefits
discussed above, consider the friends that you'll make as you navigate through the clinics, group workouts and socials that the RTC has to offer. There's absolutely nothing like seeing familiar faces and hearing familiar voices root you on by name during out-of-town races.
