With more than 200 members organised into a couple of teams, the club caters to a wide range of abilities — from first-time triathletes and juniors to experienced competitors. Activities include coached swim sessions, group cycle rides, run clubs, brick workouts, open-water swims and race-day support across local and regional events.

Location

Based in Lancaster (LA2 0NX), a historic city near the River Lune with easy access to countryside and coastal routes.

Training, Coaching and Events

Training is structured around regular weekly sessions that combine technique, endurance and race preparation. Swim training typically takes place in local pools and open-water venues during the warmer months; cycling sessions focus on road skills, group dynamics and safety; run sessions develop pace, strength and race tactics. The club also hosts social rides, relay entries, local triathlon meets and beginner-friendly introductions to multisport. Coaching is led by qualified volunteers and coaches, creating a supportive environment where members can progress at their own pace.
