Getting Started




Getting Started is Easy

Triathlon is a great sport for all ages and abilities.  All you need is a bike, running shoes and some goggles.  There are many races offered for beginners that are over shorter distances and easily acheiveable with a small amount of training for those who are fit and healthy.

The best place to start is to contact the clubs nearest you and find out how you can get involved.  Most clubs have programs and training to suit all ages & fitness abilities. 
Find the club nearest you.
