A Message From Our Executive Director
From day one, our goal has been to build pathways—for athletes, for community, and for opportunity. In 2025, we built so much and laid the groundwork for even more. We launched Veterans2Victory, expanded Train2Race to Long Beach, and started preparations to bring Learn2Tri to Tampa in 2026.
No matter what we do, or where we’re doing it, our purpose remains the same: to create spaces where people can move, connect, and discover what’s possible when barriers are removed.
Behind every camp, every practice, and every race, the Dare2tri community continues to show up, support, and celebrate. Thank you for being part of it. Here’s to bigger and better pathways in 2026 and beyond. One athlete, one program, and one finish line at a time.
Keri Serota, Co-Founder & Executive Director
Our Programs: Moving People Forward
In 2025, Dare2tri delivered 9,025 program hours, giving athletes of all abilities the opportunity to swim, bike, and run, at every skill level and stage of their journey. From free weekly practices and mobile cycling clinics to our signature Train2Race and Learn2Tri Camps, every program is designed to meet athletes where they are, build skills, and create connections that last a lifetime.
“Dare2tri gave me more than I bargained for: training, racing, learning, laughter, support—and a reminder of what I didn’t know I was missing.”
—Patrick Wingert, Camp Participant
Breaking Barriers
Throughout 2025, the Ron Weinert Ability Fund supported athletes nationwide, providing equipment and resources for home training, everyday recreation, and races. From racing wheelchairs and handcycles to prosthetics and training tools, the fund gave athletes the essentials they need to move in meaningful ways.
“2025 was a shift from just swimming to swimming, biking, and running. I wouldn’t have it any other way, and I couldn’t do it without the support of Dare2tri.”
—Sarah Perkins, Grant Recipient
Investing in Veterans
In 2025, we launched Veterans2Victory, a hybrid training program built by veterans for veterans. Combining virtual coaching, in-person camps, and race experiences, the program gives participants the guidance, camaraderie, and support they need from their first session to the finish line. The pilot program, which will continue in 2026, included 15 participants, with 10 advancing to national championships. Veterans2Victory is just the beginning of creating more opportunities for veterans to move, connect, and thrive through sport.
