About Us

The North Cotswold Tri and Run club was established in June 2016 for people of all ages and abilities who would like to train and compete in either triathlon, duathlon, running & cycling events or to simply enjoy keeping fit and enjoy the social side of being part of a very friendly group of people in an all-inclusive atmosphere. 

We are affiliated to England Athletics & British Triathlon and our main sponsors are VW North Street Motors who sponsor the adult section and Chris Wilsdon of September Properties Ltd who sponsor the junior section. 


We also arrange regular group activities in Running, Cycling & Swimming and can also offer coaching & competitive opportunities for anyone from beginner level through to elite level
