About TTG

Founded in 1998, TTG is Gloucestershire’s biggest triathlon club with around 70 members, many of whom represent Great Britain regularly in international age group competitions, winning medals and some becoming World Champions.

 

BTF recognised

Tri Team Glos is a recognised UK triathlon club having affiliated to the British Triathlon Federation (BTF).  Separate membership of the BTF by triathletes entitles them to: discount on event entry fees; additional insurance cover for training; a quarterly copy of TriNews and a free handbook in which all 'sanctioned' events in the UK are listed.

 

Clubmark

The club is well-organised and in April 2007 was awarded Clubmark status. Clubmark has been created by Sport England in partnership with the British Triathlon Federation to recognise and accredit clubs that are committed to providing a quality club – safety, fairness, coaching and management - and a safe and fun environment for children and young people.

 

TTG Young Triathletes

TTG has an active youth section with 30 plus members from age 8 upwards and regular representation at the National Youth Championships. See TTGYT.

 

TTG aims

The aims of the club are contained within the “Articles of Association.”  Basically, it is to provide a focal point for triathlon/duathlon activities in the County.  This includes training sessions, seminars and events.  The club provides equal opportunity of access irrespective of sex, religion, ethnic origin, marital status or disability.  Financial hardship does not exclude participation.

Membership of the club does not imply the participation in group training and/or events.  There is no intention to coerce people into training sessions, team events etc.  All abilities of triathletes/duathletes will be catered for but they must be actively pursuing these multi-discipline sports. The club is not open to single discipline athletes.  Semior members must be at least 15 years on or after 1st April this year.
