Triathlon Training Sessions

Monday night endurance training is currently running for athletes, with swimming and cycling sessions not yet in place.

Junior Triathlon

A triathlon is a combination of swimming, cycling and running to make one continuous race. The swim comes first, followed by the cycle and then the run. It is a non-stop race, so any time spent between disciplines is included in the overall time.

The swim can take place in a pool or sometimes open water. The cycle for juniors will always take place on a course closed to traffic, sometimes on roads but more often on a field. The run is also on a closed course, normally grass.

To compete, athletes need to be members of the British Triathlon Federation. Day membership is also available and is arranged with the event organiser.
