Welcome to Sheffield Triathlon Club

Sheffield Triathlon Club (STC) is one of the oldest and most established clubs in the country. STC was formed in 1986 by some of the country’s earliest triathlon pioneers, and we have over 20 year’s experience of promoting and encouraging people to participate in triathlons and other multi-sport events.  Our 150-strong membership enjoys access to races, training events, and social events throughout the year. We have a well-deserved reputation as being one of the friendliest clubs around, and our membership spans all age groups and abilities.

Training

Sheffield has some of the best training facilities in the country; Ponds Forge International Swimming Pool and the Don Valley Athletics Stadium to name just two. On our doorstep we also have Rother Valley Country Park and the Peak District National Park. We make good use of these and other facilities to provide a selection of races and training events that challenge novices and experienced athletes alike.

Our Philosopy

We share the British Triathlon Federation’s philosophy of athlete development which is  “to provide a fun and safe environment in which children, young people and adults can enjoy their first triathlon training or racing experience, gain success and be motivated to continue participating”. We’ve been doing this with great success for years.

Incidentally, we also know how to throw a really good party!
