Watch this space for details on our virtual new member open night coming soon!
Annually, Cork Tri has about 250 members with new members always welcome to join. The club is made up mostly of adult members, with a few junior members also. The club caters for all abilities, if you are just starting out, then get consistent with your training, work to build up fitness and distance, ideally you would be able to run for 20mins, bike for an hour and swim a few lengths of the pool without stopping. From there, anything can happen, bu YOU are the one who has to put in the hard work! So get involved, get started and we look forward to meeting you!

*Turbo: a simple piece of equipment to turn your own bike into a stationary bike for indoor training, plenty of options at McCarthys Cycles for basic (cheapest) to smart turbos. A great investment for lockdowns, dark winter evenings and getting good consistent training in, with no excuses!
Training plans to keep you focused, these plans were used in previous years and focused on specific races – take a look, they will provide good insight into the types of training Triathletes would typically be doing and how best to structure your weekly training.

There is also a great social element to the club with a very active social committee organising social/training weekends away, activities around designated club “away” races and local social events around Cork. There’s a wealth of experience within the club, a fantastic cohesion between clubmates and of course, there might be a little competitive rivalry on occasion!
