Our Mission

Our Mission

We are a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to provide an outlet for Chicago area triathletes to grow their athletic abilities and develop friendships through tri-athletic endeavors and meaningful social contact.

 

About the Club

The Chicago Tri Club is a USAT-sanctioned, not-for-profit group dedicated to helping area triathletes. Our members include novices looking for support before completing their first triathlon, to veterans of Ironman competition. The club is run by the members; they organize all the activities‹social events, clinics, and workouts. Our workouts and clinics are geared to multisport athletes of all abilities. Joining the club, and getting to know the other members, is a great way to introduce yourself to the world of triathlons, meet others who are passionate about the sport, and improve your athletic abilities, all while having fun. Previously called the Chicago Triathlon & Multisport Club, our name was recently shortened to Chicago Tri Club.

 

Why join?

In accordance with our mission, we offer our members many benefits. We schedule group workouts as well as a variety of triathlon clinics. Club members are also invited to member's only social events. Additionally, because we all know how expensive our hobby can be, our members enjoy discounts at various stores in the Chicagoland area.
