Torbay Tri Club | Torbay's Only Triathlon Club

WE ARE A TRIATHLON CLUB WITH A DIFFERENCE!

Whilst many of our members aspire to undertake Triathlons, for others this is not their main activity as they just enjoy the variety of sports that we support. In a recent survey, Club Members described us in 4 words – Friendly, Supportive, Inclusive and Fun. Our members have a huge range of abilities with their ‘Greatest Achievements’ ranging from completing a 5km run, maintaining a regular training programme, undertaking an Ironman and through to representing their country in an International Age Group Triathlon.

Purpose

Our Club Purpose is ‘To build a safe and supportive community for members to swim, bike and run in Torbay. We will support all members to achieve their personal goals in any or all of our 3 sports by providing group training sessions with fully-qualified coaches to suit all abilities.’

Values

We have 4 Core Values:

Community – We support and celebrate members achievements, from first triathlons through to representing their country.

Inclusive – We offer training opportunities for all abilities, providing a range of swimming, cycling and running sessions.

Professional – We invest in our coaches and run/bike leaders to provide the best training for all members.

Local – We endeavour to support Torbay through relationships with other organisations, improving infrastructure and volunteering.

A little message from the Torbay Tri Club Chairman –

BEN FLOWER

Welcome to Torbay Tri!

We really are a Triathlon Club with a difference. We pride ourselves on the huge variety of our members and ensure that everyone is made welcome and supported. We focus on personal improvement in any or all of the 3 triathlon sports.

To ensure we are inclusive we have a low membership fee, free training sessions (wherever possible) and ‘Member Only’ events. Alongside this we have fully trained coaches and bike/run leaders to lead our many varied training sessions. Finally, we actively support our local community via provision of sea swim buoys, coastal litter picking, Parkrun volunteering, Food Bank runs etc.

We are quite simply blessed on the English Riviera with the sea on our doorstep, use of the 1.5km Velopark, indoor swimming pools and many scenic running routes.

Our members range from 18 to 70+ years old (unfortunately at this time we do not offer a Junior section). We don’t take ourselves too seriously and have a number of social events throughout the year.

I myself came from a sailing background but got into triathlon’s during the COVID19 pandemic, I was made to feel most welcome at Torbay Tri meeting a lot of new close friends. I want to continue this legacy in the club that was put before me so don’t feel scared to come and show your face!

Whether you just want to improve your fitness or aspire to complete an Ironman then we can help you in your journey. Don’t feel you need to do all 3 disciplines, we have several members who only partake in one particular discipline. You can join now or attend 3 sessions before deciding. Contact us via this website or our public Facebook or Instagram pages and we will ensure you are made welcome.
