Down Triathlon Juniors
At Down Triathlon Club, our juniors are the heartbeat of our vibrant community! These young athletes redefine determination, enthusiasm, and sheer passion for the sport. Their energy is infectious, and their spirit indomitable. Welcome to Down Triathlon Club’s Tigers.
Down Tigers Junior Triathlon club, launched in 2022, is for juniors aged 10-17 who want to develop their Triathlon skills. It is one of four clubs across NI, welcoming members of all genders, abilities, and family backgrounds from Downpatrick and beyond.
The Sport of Triathlon involves the disciplines of cycling, running, and swimming (including Open Water Swimming). Each sport requires specialist equipment (bikes, wetsuits, safety equipment) and coaching to understand how to train safely.
