Chester Triathlon Club

The City of Chester Triathlon Club to give our club its full name was formed in 1994 by Sam Titman, Mike Foran and Sioran Glanrid-Jones. Back then the club had no Coaches no Officials and very few members, club fiancés were meagre and triathlons cost £10 to £15 .

Over the last 16 years of promoting our sport to athletes of all levels has seen the club grow to over 450 members from the very youngest 9 year olds in our Junior section to our very oldest at over 70 years old. The club aims to cater for all abilities and all ages.

History of Elected Positions in the Club

Chester Triathlon Races

The first of the Chester tri’s races grew out of the Fire Brigade Triathlon and was held at Manley Mere. Back then there were no Olympic Distance triathlons in the North West and so Deva Triathlon was born.

Deva Diva Triathlon

The Chester Tri held the first women’s only triathlon the diva divas. This very successful triathlon won Event of the Year in 2009.

The Friar Tuck Triathlon

This very popular triathlon was held in a school near the Norton Priory, Runcorn - hence the name - for two years from 2001 until 2002 when the school until the school was demolished.  The race was fortunate to have been won by Alistair Brownlee and Tanja Alan in its first year.

Sandy Lane Training Triathlons

One of the most popular races for members only has the Sandy Lane Sprint Triathlon growing to more than 80 participants taking part on a Wednesday evening. This popular triathlon provided a great training ground for old hands to practice their transition skills and for complete novices to try their first triathlon with the support of their members.
