A huge THANK YOU to Tibor from New Jersey, Meg from Virginia, and Raquel from Michigan for their generous gear donations to TriThrift!

We’re so grateful for the support and for helping us give quality triathlon gear a second life! ♻️💙

We’ll be working hard to get these items listed over the next couple of weeks, so keep an eye on TriThrift.org for new gear!

Happy Tri & Write Friday ✨

After eight years of recurring running injuries, Mike has learned a lot (often the hard way) about how to keep training when your body won’t cooperate.

He shares four of his biggest lessons: 1️⃣ get professional help early, 2️⃣ don’t rely too heavily on rest, 3️⃣ embrace cross-training, and 4️⃣ get stronger in the gym.

Despite years of injuries, Mike has continued to improve across running and triathlon. His biggest takeaway? Learn to work around injuries, experiment with what works, and keep going.

Head over to the blog NOW to read his story in full 💻 AND, if you’re interested in sharing next, send us a message! We publish on the blog Friday mornings and we’d love for you to be next.

Happy Friday, everyone ❤️

Earlier today, we made our 13th contribution to the Challenged Athletes Foundation (Challenged Athletes Foundation) 🙌

This quarter, TriThrift donated a little short of $400 to support CAF’s mission of breaking down barriers so more people can experience the joy of endurance sports.

Every three months, we donate 20% of our profits to CAF—and with this latest contribution, we’re proud to keep growing our impact 💙

Together, we’re reducing barriers so you, and others, can TRI ❤️

🚨 ONE GRANT REMAINING FOR 2026! 🚨

We’re excited to share that TriThrift has one microgrant left to award this year!

Our microgrants provide up to $150 toward race registration to help first-time triathletes take the start line and remove some of the financial barriers to getting into the sport.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and applicants typically receive a decision within 30 days.

If you’ve been thinking about signing up for your first triathlon—or know someone who has—now is the time! 💙

Apply for our final 2026 grant through the link in our bio.

We’re excited to share another way TriThrift is helping make endurance sports more accessible ❤️

We recently donated running gear to Girls on the Run of Central Maryland (GOTR Central Maryland) for their shoe event, which helps provide new running shoes to girls in the program who face financial barriers. Thanks to this donation, some of these young runners can now head home with more than a new pair of shoes—they’ll also have access to running shorts, tops, and other accessories to help them feel ready to run.

TriThrift exists to help break down the financial barriers that keep people from participating in triathlon, but our mission extends to endurance sports more broadly. This partnership is a great example of that work in action: finding a new home for quality gear while helping more people experience the confidence, community, and joy that come from being active.

We’re so grateful to Girls on the Run of Central Maryland for the work they do and thrilled that our donated gear can play a small part in supporting these young runners! 💙♻️

A huge thank you to Trevor from Washington, DC for donating shoes and aerobars, and to Yasmin from New Jersey for donating a ROKA swimskin!

We’re incredibly grateful for athletes who choose to give their gear a second life through TriThrift. Every donation helps make endurance sports more accessible while keeping quality gear in use and out of landfills♻️💙

Have gear you’re no longer using? Consider donating it to TriThrift and help another athlete get to the start line.

Happy Tri & Write Friday ✨

What started as a way to stay active became something much bigger: community, friendship, confidence, and a genuine love of running. 🏃‍♀️

In our newest blog post, one runner, Mindy, shares how early-morning group runs, half-marathon training, milestone races, and sharing the sport with her family transformed her from someone who never considered herself a runner into someone who proudly does today.

Read the full story on the TriThrift blog 💻 AND if you’re interested in sharing next, send us a message 😄 We publish on the blog Friday mornings, and we’d love for you to be next. Message us to learn more.

Together, we’re reducing barriers to help you, and others tri, ❤️

Happy Friday, everyone!

For all of our new followers, here’s a quick look at how TriThrift works ⬇️

We believe great gear shouldn’t sit unused—and cost shouldn’t keep someone from getting to the starting line.

Here’s the cycle:

♻️ You donate. We collect new and like-new swim, bike, run, and activewear from athletes across the country.

🛍️ We give it a second life. We inspect, photograph, and sell donated gear at affordable prices, making quality equipment more accessible to new and beginner athletes.

❤️ The proceeds give back. Every three months, 20% of our profits go to the Challenged Athletes Foundation (Challenged Athletes Foundation). The remaining 80% supports TriThrift programs designed to reduce barriers to participating in triathlon.

Donate gear. Shop secondhand. Help more people get to the start line.

Together, we’re reducing barriers to help you, and others, tri ❤️
