Sun City Tri

Sun City: Tri-ing since 1993!

Sun City Tri is one of the North East's leading Triathlon Clubs, catering for all levels from absolute beginners to World Championship medal winners. The club was started in 1993, so 2010 sees us celebrating 17 years of tri in Sunderland. We have members who have competed for almost 20yrs, several Ironman finishers and lots of members who just enjoy getting fitter. Whatever you want from Triathlon we reckon we have the knowledge and skills to make Triathlon a great experience for you (and we have the "STAR mark" to prove it), plus we're one of the most welcoming clubs around.

LATEST NEWS

• TUESDAY SWIM SESSION

  Please note that due to space constraints within the lanes and our coaches' wishes to provide quality training sessions for the athletes, this session is now only open to club members. We have also, reluctantly, had to make the decision to remove what was the "novice/beginner" lane from this session and attendees at the Tuesday session should be able to swim a straight 200m (We will continue to have novice/beginner lanes on Thursdays but these will now be at the 8-9pm slot, and also Saturday mornings).

  Potential members, please still feel free to come along, have a chat and see what we do.

• ENTRIES NOW OPEN FOR HEBBURN TRIATHLON

  The Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue sprint Triathlon (Hebburn) is now accepting entries on the tri hard website. This is a great event, suitable for novices/beginners and old heads alike. We're also using this race as the Sun City club championships, so it would be great to get as many entries as possible. It's a popular event that fills up pretty fast so enter now!

• CLUB HOODIES

  We will be placing an order for the club hoodies etc. towards the end of February, assuming we have sufficient interest. Anyone wishing to purchase a hoodie, please place your order with Rocker at the pool. NOTE Cash must be paid at the time of the order

• FACEBOOK GROUP:

  Sun City Tri now have a Facebook group- if you're a club member and you're on Facebook, look it up and join in! It won't replace this website and the information you'll find here, but it's an extra way to keep in touch with friends from the club. What do you mean you're not on Facebook? Think of all the time you'd be able to waste if you were...

• 2010 EVENTS:

  We're looking for volunteers to take on the role of "event leaders" for club races in 2010 with Mandy acting as an overall "events manager" and providing support. Email or speak to her if you're interested or to find out more. We're also looking to expand the range of events we organise and suggestions so far include a bike "sportive" ride, a 10K run and a surf aquathlon on the beach. Again, speak to Mandy if you're interested in taking the lead on one or more of these, or have your own ideas for events. We'll give you all the support we can!
