New2Tri: Upcoming Programmes
New to Tri? Start Your Triathlon Journey with Us This Spring!
Have you ever wanted to give triathlon a go — but weren’t sure where to start? Whether you’re a complete beginner, a curious crossover from another sport, or a Triathlon Ireland member who’s not involved with a club, our New2Tri programme is the perfect place to begin.
Designed with first-timers in mind, this six-week initiative offers a welcoming, zero-pressure introduction to triathlon. You’ll get hands-on experience with the core disciplines — swimming, cycling (spin bike), and running — with guidance, structure, and a fun community atmosphere along the way. The final week even includes a mini triathlon-style event so you can put your new skills into action!
Each weekly session includes a mix of spin bike, run track, and pool-based training. All you need to bring is:
Swimwear, goggles, and a swim hat
Comfortable running and biking clothes
Running shoes
