Are you ready to step up and try something new, challenging, and genuinely rewarding?

Whether you’re brand new to the sport or just looking to build confidence, the Try a Triathlon programme is designed to take you from “not sure where to start” to confidently crossing the finish line at the Waitomo Triathlon Festival this December.

🏊🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️ What’s It All About?

This 10-week training programme is built around the same principles that underpin strong, capable athletes - develop sound technique, build a solid aerobic base, and progress consistently.

You’ll be guided every step of the way by qualified coaches, with a clear structure that removes the guesswork and keeps things moving forward.

Sessions are delivered in a supportive group environment, making training more enjoyable, more consistent, and far more effective than going it alone.
