Introduction

What is Triathlon?

If you enjoy swimming, cycling, and running, this is the sport for you.

Whether you want to compete competitively or pop along to the odd training session for fun and making friends, UEL Triathlon Club caters for all abilities.

Triathlon is a multi-discipline sport and you can compete in triathlon consisting all three disciplines (swimming, cycling and running) or as part of a relay team focussing on the discipline you feel most confident in.

UEL Triathlon Club is open to all abilities and is rapidly expanding.  We offer:

• Opportunities to exercise flexibly based on when, how and where you can train.
• A club that is truly welcoming of all abilities.
• Friendly people to enjoy training with.

Current members have different goals and different training commitments but are all part of one happy and supportive team and we look forward to meeting new members…will it be you?
