Cal Tri Events has congratulated Eric Fletcher on becoming the first-ever member of its Club 25, which is billed as… ‘the ultimate VIP race perk that awards free races for life after an athlete completes their 25th Cal Tri Events race.’
Additionally, Club 25 membership includes VIP racking and an all-access wristband allowing athletes to skip packet pick-up on race morning. Every Cal Tri Events race, from 2015 to the present, is eligible for participants to claim their place for the VIP perk.
Cal Tri notes that… ‘following his finish at 2025 Cal Tri Walnut Creek on August 17, 2025, Eric Fletcher achieved the 25 event milestone after years of dedication, consistency, and passion for the sport of triathlon.’
“Eric embodies everything Cal Tri is about – commitment, community, and celebrating the journey,” said Thom Richmond, CEO of Cal Tri Events.
“Reaching 25 races is a huge accomplishment, and we are honoured to recognize Eric as the very first member of Club 25.”
Cal Tri Events is looking forward to welcoming more athletes into its Club 25 in the years ahead, but Eric Fletcher will forever hold the distinction of being the pioneer – the very first to cross the threshold into this group.
