Triathlon & Cycling

• Training

  Swimming, cycling and running are the three sports that make up a triathlon. As a club we offer 3 running, 3 cycling and 3 swimming sessions 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.

  If you’re not so keen on running and swimming, we have a separate, cheaper membership option which only includes our cycling sessions.
  Every training session caters to all abilities which fosters a strong sense of community between all our members. The club has equipment such as bikes and wetsuits which are free to borrow. Our 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 and equal environment for everyone to enjoy the sport no matter their ability. Everyone is welcome to come along and join the University of St Andrews Triathlon and Cycling Club!

• Competition

  As a club we compete in various multisport events (aquathlons, duathlons and triathlons) as well as pure running, cycling and (open water) swimming 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 end the academic year.

  Whether you have never completed a triathlon or are a seasoned racer there is plenty to get involved in!
