Who we are:                                    MISSION AND VALUES

​TriColumbus Triathlon Club is a Certified USA Triathlon Club.  We are a blended group of multisport athletes for all different backgrounds and ability levels who choose to commit and dedicate themselves to training for triathlons.

Why you should join us: ​
TriColumbus Triathlon Club provides new members with the opportunity to fast track yourself to becoming a better athlete, friendships to last a lifetime, and training groups suitable for any ability level.  Come train with like minded individuals in a non-competitive friendly environment.  All athletes are welcome, no experience is needed to join our club.

• TriColumbus Triathlon Club aims to improve the physical fitness and mental well-being of all members of the Central Ohio community through the promotion and encouragement of the sport of triathlon. Our goal is to make triathlon fun and accessible to everyone in Central Ohio – beginner or experienced, young or old, big or small, rich or poor, LGBT or straight. Whether you're training for your first triathlon, or you're an age group winner, we hope you will find a home in the TriColumbus Triathlon Club.

• We started TriColumbus Triathlon Club to create a supportive, social, and affordable option for triathletes and aspiring triathletes in Central Ohio.​ To accomplish this goal, TriColumbus Triathlon Club organizes group swims, runs, and bike rides; provides information, mentoring, and other triathlon resources; promotes triathlon in the Central Ohio community; recruits and organizes volunteers at local races; hosts social events for local triathletes; sponsors lectures and educational seminars; and always tries to be a friendly, welcoming, and inclusive community for anyone interested in the sport of triathlon.

• ​TriColumbus Triathlon Club actively encourages female athletes to compete in triathlon and strives for equal representation between the genders in Club Membership and Leadership. In 2018, triathlon's average global female participation rate was 30%. We believe that participation rate should be 50%. In support of this goal, TriColumbus Triathlon Club offers female members the option of having a female Club mentor. The Club also offers co-ed workouts, training opportunities, and social events, with the aim that all Club events build camaraderie and friendship.

​​

• ​TriColumbus Triathlon Club is a steward of the Central Ohio triathlon community and supports local coaches, gyms, shops, and short course races. We know that Columbus is one of the best triathlon cities in America because of its vibrant fitness community. TriColumbus Triathlon Club endeavors to support individuals and locally-owned companies who make their living through triathlon by promoting triathlon, by encouraging newcomers to participate in the sport, by organizing and recruiting volunteers for local races, and by encouraging our members to take advantage of member discounts with Club partners.
