About the Club

 

GRC Tri is a group of dedicated people with a passion for taking part in Triathlon and getting people involved in training and events.

 

Our group wants to be an inclusive club, responsive to its members and with an atmosphere that promotes health, well-being and good quality of life.

 

We have over 20 + members, with 6 to 15 people attending each training session. Our current members range from aged 8 to 66.

 

Our activities consist of 6 training sessions a week (running, swimming, cycling and general fitness) and taking part in Triathlon and Duathlon events. We have 4 coaches (male and female), one of whom holds a Level 2 qualification, the others being Level 1.

 

As one of only four Triathlon Clubs in Scotland that has the capacity to cater for children and young people, this is an important part of the vision of our club. So far we have run two training sessions at Whitburn Academy as part of the Active Schools Initiative. We also play a key role in marshalling and supporting the annual Scottish Schools Triathlon Festival, which last year saw 300 P7 pupils take part.

 

Despite being a new club, we have achieved Silver Accreditation in the West Lothian Council Sports Club Accreditation Scheme.

 

At present we are looking to recruit more keen and enthusiastic members to help the club continue to grow, and as such if you are interested then please ensure to check out the rest of the areas within the website. If after that you would like any further information then please do no hesitate to get in touch with us via the 'Contact Us' tab on the left hand menu.
