What is Triathlon?

Triathlon is a multi-discipline sport consisting of swimming, cycling and running.

Triathlon is a great sport to keep active, and by taking on the three elements of swimming, cycling and running you can keep training fun and varied too!

There is opportunities for all abilities to take part in Triathlon and compete.

Beginners can take part in GO TRI events which are a great opportunity to get a taster for the sport without having to complete standard distances. These events provide shorter distances and can have a combination of swim, bike and run.

Regular participants who want to do more can join a local club and improve their training and competition.

High level participants who want to compete against the best can compete for Great Britain in age group triathlons across the world.

Youngsters who are talented can also compete in youth and junior series events organised by British Triathlon.
