Welcome to Edinburgh Triathletes

Welcome to the website of Edinburgh Triathletes , one of the largest triathlon clubs in Scotland and the Scottish club champions of 2000 to 2002,  2004 to 2007 and 2009.

If you want to know more about Edinburgh Triathletes, please get in touch via this page. If you wish to join Edinburgh Triathletes, then head over to entrycentral.net, where you can join online.

We have over 150 members of all abilities, from the totally obsessed to complete novices. We have Ironman competitors, sprint specialists, duathletes and everything in between. The club organises regular formal and informal training sessions, time-trials, handicapped runs, training weekends, quality kit, a monthly newsletter and social events. Edinburgh Triathletes puts on two of the biggest triathlons in Scotland - the New Years Day and Gullane Beach triathlons, and numerous other events such as the new Ladies only Tri and Kids Aquathlons.

Although we do have a few of the maniacs most people associate with the sport of triathlon, most of our members are relatively normal! We have as wide a range of abilities and ages as you can imagine - from  obsessed-triathletes to some people who only seem to get off their couch if there is a pub involved somewhere. We now have several TriathlonScotland accredited coaches who are only too willing to impart to you more experience and knowledge than you could ever want. Many club members have progressed from being complete novices in one or more of the sports, to competing for GB at world championships. Most though are happy to perform the best their lifestyle permits.

To get full use of this website, you will need to register, and I'm afraid that is only available for club members. Once registered you will be allowed in to the forum, so we can discuss anything we like without offending other clubs! ET members can also add news items, events and articles. Click on the 'create one' link in the login form on the left to get started.
