About Torbay Tri Club

Torbay Tri Club was formed back in 2013 as part of Torbay Athletic Club. As the Club grew we decided to set up on own and are now an independent Club affiliated to British Triathlon and UK Athletics. We were awarded South West Region Club of the Year in 2022 by Triathlon England. Currently we have around 200 members. Unfortunately we do not offer a Junior Section.

 

Our Club ethos is to be as inclusive as possible. So we have a low membership fee and ensure that the fees are spent to our members benefit each year. Triathlon has a reputation for being an expensive sport but it does not need to be. Our coaches and run/bike leaders are not paid which means we can offer free training sessions or at the cost of hiring facilities such as indoor swimming pools. We can advise on how you can compete at minimal cost.

 

Many of our members do not wish to undertake a Triathlon, instead wanting to just swim, bike or run. But you never know – you may start to understand why so many of us enjoy doing all 3 sports together!

 

On a day-to-day basis we manage ourselves via our Public and ‘Members Only’ Facebook groups. We have a Members Website which enables people to join or renew their memberships and book/pay for training sessions and Member Only events as required.

 

We organise adhoc talks by experts on subjects such as First Aid, Run Technique, Training through the Menstrual Cycle/Menopause etc.

 

We are always trying new ideas as requested by our members such as Transition Coaching, Strength & Conditioning, social bike rides, spinning sessions etc.

 

Social events are arranged on a regular basis including Cake Baking competitions, Quiz nights or just a drink in a pub!

 

Finally we really enjoy helping our local community whether via Parkrun Volunteering, Food Bank runs, setting out sea swim buoys, coastal litter picking etc.
