Who We Are, Where We Came From, and Where We’re Headed
Ponteland Tri is the Triathlon section of Ponteland Runners. Ponteland Runners added a Triathlon section in August 2013, prior to 2013 the Running club had a number of members who completed in Triathlon and the affiliation was prompted by keen members who wanted to add the support from Triathlon England to the club. Now that the club is affiliated with TriAthlon England it is the perfect group for people in Ponteland interested in multisport!
Did you know? We won Triathlon England's "North East Club of the Year" award back in 2017!
There's always plenty going on for club members for all ages! You'll find details of our weekly training times across Run, Bike, Swim, as well as details of Junior sessions on our dedicated Training Page.
In 2013 the club became affiliated with Triathlon England as “Ponteland Tri”. This allows all members of Ponteland Runners to enter events run by BTF ( British Triathlon Federation ) rules as members of “Ponteland Tri”. This offers great benefits for the club and its members, and we strongly recommend individual membership to Triathlon England as it provides insurance benefits whilst training and reduced entry fees when racing in British Triathlon Federation events.
