Running

Deal Tri host a number of races throughout the year as well as providing a variety of training sessions throughout the week.  Training sessions are intended for all abilities but if you're at all unsure please get in touch with the Run Captain for more information.  There are many different ability runners within the club so if you're looking for a running partner or group to run with take a look on the forum and post a thread to see who's going out in your area. 

Training Sessions - times and locations HERE

• Wednesday Track - speed training session by coach Kev Brown, suitable for all abilities.  £1 for this session to contribute to track hire fee.  These take place in Canterbury during the Winter months on astro and Walmer cricket ground after Easter (no charge during the Summer).

Other Races and Events

• Coastal Relay - this is a fun, informal, unmarshalled, self-navigating, off-road, handicapped relay race with food at the end!!  See links for INFO and FORUM CHAT
• Target Races and Championship Race - as a club we target a few external races and try to get a good turn out as a club as a whole.  The races are well known to the club and are a good way to meet other club runners.  One race each year is chosen as the Championship race which qualifies for the club shield each year.  There is a thread on the forum with dates and details HERE
• Saxon Shore Relay - a firm favourite with the cross country lovers, this is the full version of the Coastal Relay.  The Club will be entering a few teams so get your name down if you're interested - see link.
• Social Runs - through the year the club organise informal social runs which are posted on the main News page and Forum threads.  These are another great opportunity to meet other club runners and families in an informal environment.  Keep an eye on the forum for the latest information and make suggestions if there's something you think people might like to do.

Any suggestions for training sessions, races or ways to improve what we do as a club are always very welcome by the committee.  Anyone is welcome to attend the committee meetings that take place every month or send your comments and suggestions by email to one of the committee from the Contacts page.
