Welcome to Kendal Sprint Triathlon, an event which is attracting both novice and competitive athletes from around the country.
As part of the event build up MyTriEvents have put together a 16 week program for novice triathletes who are completing one of their first triathlons or indeed their very first.
The program is free and although written by qualified triathlon coaches we ask you to take responsibility for your own actions*. If in any doubt over your fitness / health please seek medical clarification before embarking upon this challenge.
Our ultimate aim is to get you all to finish a triathlon and if you enjoy it, that’s a bonus!
