Saints Triathlon and Road Cycling

Saints Triathlon is going into its eleventh year and has grown impressively since its start in 2012. We are a close-knit and social group and our fun atmosphere is displayed at our regular training sessions, socials, and trips. We go on one residential trip per semester, with recent trips including the Isle of Skye, Newtonmore and Glencoe.

We are a very relaxed club, and people can take the sport as serious as they want to. We have athletes of all levels, from people who have never cycled before to athletes who compete at national level. Whether you!ve never done a triathlon before or you’ve been competing for years, we’d love to have you!

Swimming, cycling and running are the three sports that make up a triathlon. As a club we offer many sessions: 4 running, 3 cycling and 3 swimming session as well as a strength and conditioning session each week. Though some members do, there is no pressure to come to all the sessions. Some members prefer to take part in just one aspect of triathlon, while others enjoy training once a week in each discipline.

All training session are open to all club members no matter what your experience is. The club possesses equipment such as bikes and wetsuits which are free for club members to borrow. The coaching team is made up of staff and student coaches within the club, who are not just here to coach but also help support our athletes during their time at University. The coaches and committee like to keep a safe, fun, equal and diverse environment for everyone to enjoy the sport no matter your ability. Everyone is welcome to come along and experience the University of St Andrews Triathlon and Road Cycling Club.
As a club we compete in various multisport events and pure running and cycling races. We compete all over Scotland but the highlight of the year is always the local Cupar triathlon, which sees almost all club members participate and is a great way to start our summer season.

There are opportunities to go compete all around the UK at BUCS races too, which provide not only tough competition but great team experiences. Whether you have never completed a triathlon or are a seasoned racer there is plenty to get involved in.
Whether you are new to the sport or an experienced triathlete, already attend the University or if you are thinking about attending, please get in touch to register your interest and find out more about our club.

The University hosts a Sports Fayre at the beginning of each academic year during Orientation Week, giving prospective members the opportunity to talk to club members and sign up to ‘Give It A Go’ sessions.
