Sporting Pride Introduction to Triathlon Programme

Triathlon Ireland and Sporting Pride have teamed up to bring you an Introduction to Triathlon Programme for the LGBTQ+ and Allies community. This free programme gives you the chance to try the 3 triathlon disciplines (swim, bike and run) in a safe and social environment.

Where:

The group will meet at Whiterock Leisure Centre on Tuesday evenings from 6pm to 8:30pm for 6 weeks beginning Tuesday 24th September. You will finish each session with some tea, coffee and scones but there is no expectation to stay for this part if you can't. The programme will finish with a mini- triathlon during your final session on Tuesday 29th October. There is no expectation for you to complete a specific distance or time for this event and it is just a chance to give a triathlon a go.

What to expect:

These sessions are coached by Triathlon Ireland coaches who will meet you on arrival and will be happy to answer any questions.

Sessions include cycling on the spin bike, running at the pitch and a pool swim. The sessions will be tailored for the group and you don't have to take part in all sessions, just see how you feel!

If you have any questions at all in advance please contact [email protected] who will be happy to help.
