On Thursday, March 25, 2010 ACHIEVE Kids Tri and Super Volunteer Hillary Peabody organized a DC Area Triathlon Club Mixer and fundraiser at Sutra Lounge in Adams Morgan. Donations were voluntary at the door. ACHIEVE gave away donations from Gu and Clif Shots to those who donate $5 or more. There was also a raffle and prizes including three gift certificates from Cycle Life USA Bike Shop, two $25 gift certificates to Savour (the restaurant connected to Sutra), free Nation’s Triathlon race entries, Xterra wetsuits, massage gift certificates from Joseph Reo and more!

There were lots of networking opportunities to meet other local athletes! Many triathlon clubs attended, including The DC Tri Club, the Snapple New Tri Team, Old Town Tri Club, RATS (Reston Area Triathletes), Team Lipstick, the Georgetown Alumni Newbie Triathlete Program, On Point Fitness and Team Z.

This special happy hour at the new Sutra Lounge in Adams Morgan had ample space, a DJ, a bartender staffing both the downstairs and upstairs bars, drink specials, and free hors de vours.
