Welcome to Farnham Triathlon Club

A Little Bit About Us

Welcome to Farnham Triathlon Club's (FTC) presence on the World Wide Web. We are based in the west Surrey market town of Farnham and have been in existence since 1985. FTC has its headquarters at Farnham Sports Centre, Dogflud Way, Farnham.

We are a friendly club that at present has over 230 members. We have athletes whose ages and ability vary immensely, from beginner, through improver to age-group champions. We are happy to welcome complete novices as well as the accomplished athlete. We have in our ranks people who have completed all types of races and distances, from triathlons through to adventure racing and from sprint triathlons through to Ironman^®.

Joining The Club

The annual subscription rate is currently £15.00. In addition there is a £6.00 'country' membership available for those who do not live locally and therefore cannot train with us on a regular basis. All members receive regular newsletters and training notes, which include training advice for those who can't turn up to organised sessions. Membership attracts 10% discount at many local sports shops as well some race entry fees.

Thinking of joining? Then we would please ask you to read the Club's Rules and Regulations and Code of Conduct before proceeding to the Membership Application page.

What We Do

Training sessions are held regularly in all of the three disciplines involved in triathlon, with some of the sessions being coached by BTF qualified coaches. One of our aims is to offer training sessions at least once a week in swimming, cycling and running.

The club runs numerous low key events which are free to members and are aimed as 'warm-ups' for more serious racing. These events include swim-run aquathlons, bike-run duathlons and of course triathlons. We also have the opportunity to compete in local cycle time trials and open water swim training.

We have a number of races each year that we encourage members to participate in such as Hart Sprint Triathlon, the National Team Relay Triathlon Championships and Southwater Triathlon Relays.

We are involved in organising several races during the year namely Hart Sprint Triathlon and Hart Duathlon, where many of our members help in marshalling. In addition we hold an annual swimming gala for local triathlon clubs.
