REGULAR TRAINING SESSIONS
Sheffield Triathlon Club runs a programme of regular training sessions for its members (in addition to our annual training races and the renowned Hathersage Hilly Triathlon)
Non-members are welcome to try out a session or two before becoming a member.
Our team of qualified coaches lead the sessions and are always happy to advise and answer your questions.
The range of sessions does change through the year as may change in light of various circumstances and needs. For example open water swimming only operates in the summer months (a swimming specific summer membership is available)
If you are unsure about joining in do drop us a message or post on our Facebook Group. All abilities
are welcome, we're passionate about facilitating those new to the sport. And if you already have a sporting background we also foster and encourage intermediate and advanced level athletes in all three disciplines - many of our members achieve fantastic results regularly on the national and global triathlon scene.
