About Us
The 2019 triathlon is led by USAT Certified race directors Scott Fricks and Theresa Harper and the VI TRI race committee. The race committee has partnered with the Virgin Islands Triathlon Federation, who is committed to improving the triathlon training and racing experience in the Virgin Islands.
VI TRI, a 501(c)(3) organization, is composed of local leaders who hold important roles in their respective businesses, serve on boards in the local community and have founded and administered successful events, including the St. Croix Coral Reef Swim (5 miles open water), Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series®, and Junior Tri Virgin Islands Kids Triathlon Series. Many of the committee members are also endurance athletes with countless events under their belts.
The 2018 race raised over $30,000 for St. Croix Animal Welfare Center, My Brother's Table and Boys and Girls Club of St. Croix. These organizations were impacted by Hurricane Maria in September 2017.
