Durham Triathlon Club — Train. Compete. Belong.

About Durham Triathlon Club

Durham Triathlon Club is a welcoming community for multisport athletes of all abilities. We focus on swim, bike and run training, race preparation, and social events that bring members together. The club supports newcomers learning the basics, developing competitive athletes, and providing structured sessions for long-distance and sprint triathlons. With more than 150 members across around ten teams, we balance structured coaching with friendly peer support to help everyone reach their goals.

Activities and Training

Our weekly program includes coached swim sessions at local pools, coached bike rides on varied terrain, interval and endurance run groups, brick sessions, and regular technique workshops. We also host open water swims, transition practice days, and race simulation sessions to prepare members for competition. Training is adaptable, with options for beginners, intermediate athletes, and advanced racers. Community-led social rides and club socials provide a supportive atmosphere outside structured training.

Location

Based in Brancepeth (DH7 8DB), a historic village near Durham with easy access to countryside routes and local pools.

How We Use SportMember

To keep the club running smoothly, we use SportMember to manage teams, members, and activities. The platform streamlines event scheduling, membership records, and communication between coaches and athletes. Using a centralized system reduces admin time for volunteers and ensures members have up-to-date information about sessions, cancellations, and results.
