SwimBikeRun Ponteland

SwimBikeRun Ponteland – 2025

Following the success of last year’s events, Ponteland Tri will once again be hosting SwimBikeRun events in 2025. These are very friendly, low-cost and popular events.

The events will take place on Wednesday 18th June and Wednesday 16th July.

ENTRIES ARE NOW OPEN!

To enter our June event: Swim Bike Run Mini Ponteland – British Triathlon

To enter for July: Swim Bike Run Mini Ponteland – British Triathlon

All you need to take part is swim kit and goggles, a bike (any bike as long as it’s in safe and working order), a helmet and trainers. The event distances are short with a 200m pool swim, followed by a 10km bike ride and finishing with a 3km run.

SwimBikeRun is an initiative launched by British Triathlon to provide people with the opportunity to take part in multisport events regularly and at a minimal cost. The events will be low key and therefore perfect for those wanting to give triathlon a go without the pressure of a full race event.

The aim of the events is for people to discover the sport and enjoying the achievement of finishing an event and believing that triathlon and its multi related distances is for them. For many who take part this will be there first entry into the sport and from there they will go onto standard club and commercial events already established on the calendar. The events will be short, easy to access and regular.

As with previous years the events for 2025 are all based at Ponteland leisure centre and will start at 19:00hrs on Wednesday evenings.

We are always keen to enlist the help of volunteers for these events as without their help, these events would not take place. If you would like to help volunteer, please contact Mick at triathlon@pontelandtri.org.uk.

Club Open Evening and Couch to 5km 2025

We will be hosting our annual open evening on Wednesday 9th April 2025 at 7pm at Ponteland Leisure Centre car park. If you are interested in joining our club to meet new people and improve your fitness, just turn up, as there is no better time! 

This will also be the start of our annual 10 week programme which will end on Wednesday 11th June by running our very own 5km with the rest of the club. We’ll then follow this with a celebration of your achievement. We also hope you’ll join us in further run sessions and races as you will be a Ponteland Runner!

The programme is fully supported by experienced UK Athletics Run Leaders and will involve a weekly session with our leaders on a Wednesday evening at 7pm. 

If you are interested please sign up via our membership form.

We meet at 7pm in Ponteland Leisure centre car park.

Couch to 5k Questions:
I can’t run at the moment, how will I be able to join your weekly session?  The programme is designed to start with walking, gradually building up to 5km after the 10 weeks.

What’s involved each week? You should be aiming to do three sessions a week, so two additional sessions from our weekly Wednesday evening.

How long are the sessions each week? We meet for up to 60 mins each Wednesday.

What if I can’t make every session in the 10 weeks? That’s absolutely fine if you can’t make all 10 sessions, please speak to our leaders when signing up to let us know.
