Come join us on TUESDAY, October 14th at UPSIDE on Moore (we will try to grab a table on the terrace if there is space and weather cooperates or we will be indoors if there is rain or it for some reason gets REALLY cold; but just look for DCTriClub banners and shirts if you are not sure where we are!).

Whether you just want to meet the Elite Team members or if you are interested in applying for the 2025 Team, we encourage you to stop by and chat with us! Feel free to ask us any questions you have (though I’m not sure we know why oranges are orange or why the sky is blue (nitrogen…), but we will try to answer all your questions!

Ask us what the requirements are. Ask us what it takes to keep up with the members. Ask us why we exist and what we do for the larger Club!

Even if you are not interested in applying for the Elite Team, please come join us and share some drinks with us as the triathlon race season starts to wind down and running season (and cooler weather) starts to ramp up.

Volunteer at our club hydration station at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half!

Time commitment: Approx. 7:00-11:30am.

Volunteer points are available for this event.
