This session is aimed at those thinking about participating in Triathlon for the first time, or those looking to brush up on their skills. We'll be practicing techniques for a fast and smooth transition, as well as some cycling and running skills and drills.

These sessions will be run by coaches from Crystal Palace Triathletes, ahead of the Crystal Palace Triathlon on 11th May 2025. 

Session Details:

• Age Group: This session is open to people over 14 years old.

• Session Duration: 1.5 hours

• Bikes: Road bikes only (drop handlebars, geared. A foot retention system, such as clipless, is necessary.) We don't have road bikes available for hire.

• You will need to bring all the kit you need for cycling and running. You can take it all into the track centre with you.

• Experience level: No experience necessary

Important to know:

• Lycra is not required, although we recommend that you don't wear anything too baggy - layers are recommended, as well as a warm jacket for after.

• Remember to bring water and a snack.

• Check the weather! We run sessions throughout the year, so please dress warmly and have waterproofs on hand. In the rare instance that we need to cancel due to adverse weather, we will endeavour to inform participants via email / social media at least 2hrs before the session - but sometimes this is not possible.

• Gloves: Required

• Helmets: Required

• Please arrive 15 minutes before the session starts to ensure that the session can start promptly. 

Meeting Point: Please wait outside the track fence on the grandstand seating: your coach will invite you to cross the track when they are ready.

This session takes place in the inner track and square - not the banked velodrome.
