Derby Triathlon Club

Target Races

Target Races
The Club has a list of Target races for the season. The purpose behind having target races is:

  • Target races are well organised, popular open events that all members can compete in over various formats throughout the season.
  • By getting a group of Club members to specific races means: we can support each other as we race; make the event more fun; and provide opportunities for social events and weekends away.
  • If new to triathlon then picking a target race as your first race will hopefully mean an experienced Club member is on hand to help you through what can be a daunting experience.
  • A proportion of the target races overlap with races that constitute part of the National League where we need to get at least three athletes to race in order to register a team score (highlighted races).

Club target races

These are our main target races which we aim to get as many members to as possible. There will be a social aspect to each race and camping where possible
