About Chippenham Tri

The club specialises in the three core disciplines of triathlon—swimming, cycling and running—and supports members preparing for sprint, standard and long-distance events. With more than one hundred members distributed across several teams and training squads, the club balances competitive ambition with a friendly, inclusive atmosphere that welcomes beginners and experienced racers alike.

Activities and training

Regular weekly sessions include pool-based swim technique work, coached group runs, road and turbo cycling sessions, and brick workouts that combine bike and run practice.

Development pathways help juniors and newcomers progress, while regular social events and volunteer-led race crews build camaraderie and club spirit.
