Perfect time to be joining triathlon club
TRIATHLON GRAEME COURTNEY NOW the festive season is over have your thoughts turned to losing a few pounds or maybe getting a little fitter? If so, Rossendale Triathlon Club may be the answer.
Even if you’ve never thought of taking part in a triathlon, running, swimming and cycling are fantastic exercises that don’t have to cost the earth and get you out and about in the fresh air instead of being stuck in a sweaty, overcrowded gym.
You can attend as many or as few sessions as you want but you will still be a part of well established, friendly sports club and, who knows, you may even fancy the challenge of completing a triathlon in the end!
As a member you will benefit from having access to coached run and swim training sessions and coached indoor bike sessions in the winter.
We meet weekly for a social run and have active cyclists who organise weekly social rides which cater for all abilities.
We arrange additional activities such as trips to the Manchester Velodrome and monthly subsidised swim sessions at Stockport’s 50 metre pool.
We are an affiliated club so members receive a discount at ●● the excellent open water facilities organised by USWIM at Dock 9 Salford Quays.
For access to all this the membership fee is only £30 per year. However, should you join in January this would be an amazingly affordable £20!
This reduction is due to the fact membership fees are due every September.
A small fee is payable for each coached training session you attend. This is to cover the cost of hiring the running track and the swimming pool
On Thursday 17th January the club are holding an open training session at their training base at Marl Pits sports centre, Newchurch Road, Rawtenstall BB4 7SN
This is a great opportunity to come along meet the coaches and members and if you fancy joining in don’t forget your kit!
The run session starts on the track at 6pm and lasts one hour.
The swim session starts poolside at 7:10pm and lasts one hour.
You can join in one or both sessions all we ask is that you are over 16 years of age but other than that all abilities are welcome, free of charge.
