FIND YOUR TRIBE. SMASH YOUR GOALS

JOIN OUR COMMUNITY

Training for a swim, bike, run or triathlon event can feel daunting, but you do not have to do it alone. Women in Tri UK brings together women across the UK who support one another at every stage of their journey, whether that is learning to swim, building confidence on the bike, training for a 5k, or preparing for a full-distance triathlon.

We are a swim, bike, run and triathlon community. You do not need to do all three disciplines. You do not need to call yourself a triathlete. You do not need to be training for a race at all. If you are curious, starting out, returning after a break, or chasing a big goal, you belong here.

All questions are welcomed with encouragement. All experiences are respected. Here you will find practical advice, honest conversations, and unwavering support to help you move in the way that feels right for you.

We are not just about finish lines. We are about removing barriers so that when you want to swim, bike, run or try a triathlon, you can do so with confidence, community, and joy.

THE POWER OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT

SHARED UNDERSTANDING

Connect with women who truly understand your journey, from juggling training schedules and family life to celebrating milestones like swimming your first full length, riding with confidence, completing a 5k, or conquering open water fears.

MENTAL STRENGTH

When motivation wanes or doubts creep in, our community is there to lift you up.

We have all had those moments questioning why we signed up, whether it is for a swim session, a long ride, a run, or a race. Together, we help each other find the mental resilience and confidence to keep going when training feels tough and self-belief wavers.

FUN ALONG THE WAY

Training does not always have to be serious. Our community brings joy to swim, bike, run and triathlon with post-ride coffees, swim session laughs, run route adventures, and shared race-day excitement.

We share stories, celebrate progress at every level, and build lasting friendships while supporting one another towards whatever goals feel right for each of us.

STRONGER TOGETHER

Solo training can get repetitive. Our group sessions add variety to your swim, bike and run routine, while turning movement into something social, supportive and energising.

There is nothing quite like sharing a challenging interval set, a long ride, a confidence-building open water session, or even a brick workout, then refuelling together with good company afterwards.

When fitness isn’t enough: why every athlete should learn CPR

Cardiac arrest does not make appointments. It can happen on an ordinary Saturday morning run, at the end of a bike ride, or in the quiet of your own home – and in those moments, what the people nearby do in the first few minutes can be the difference between life and death.
