Why get into triathlon?

and running, and it's fun and varied too.

All ages, from mini triathlons for kids to GO TRI beginner events. There are also a
number of women-only events.
What if I want a proper workout?
Triathlon events come in a variety of course distances and
mixing in a bit of competition will push your workout to the max.
Can I take it to another level?
If you want to push it up a gear, consider joining a local club to
take part in some structured training before racing.
Is there a disability option?
Paratriathlon is very popular with many inclusive events and
competitions that cater for most disabilities.

Triathlon mainly runs from May-September and there are loads
of races and taster sessions to choose from. Find a comprehensive list of races
