Here at Tri-Force, we aim to provide a fun, friendly and supportive environment for all of our members. New members are always made very welcome, irrespective of their level of experience and performance - we are always particularly happy to help people to take their first steps in their triathlon journey.
We are based in central Hertfordshire, with St Albans, Hatfield and Welwyn being home to most members as well as the venue for most of our events, but other areas such as Watford, Stevenage and even North London are well represented in the membership.
Our existing members compete in all kinds of multisports, as well as individual swimming, cycling and running events across many locations locally and further afield. We have representatives compete at levels from novice triathlon though to GB representation at World and European championships. The social aspect and mutual support of the members is a key part of being a Tri-Forcer, with a number of social media channels used to ask for and receive help, feedback and cake recipes!
The club training programs are delivered by our excellent team of coaches, at a number of quality locations in the St Albans area and surrounding parts of Hertfordshire, including open water swimming at the amazing Blue Lagoon in Arlesey. We try to complement, rather than compete with, local running and cycling clubs.
As a club, we have a regular programme of members-only club races throughout the year - check out the video below - and we also host an annual open HSV Triathlon at the excellent University of Hertfordshire facilities. The Annual awards ceremony is one of the highlights of the calendar where we recognise the success of individuals and the club as a whole.
