Affiliated to British Triathlon, London Frontrunners has a growing number of enthusiastic triathletes ranging from nervous beginners to seasoned Ironman triathletes. Members also take part in a number of other multisport events such as aquathons, Swim-Run events and duathlons.
The triathlon group is primarily a community: traveling to races together, exchanging advice and supporting each other every step of the way. There is no minimum commitment so feel free to come along and try any of the sessions/rides before deciding whether the triathlon is for you.
LFR Tri camp is an annual international trip focussing on all things triathlon.
