Darlington Triathlon Club
Darlington Triathlon Club has moved to a new base at Branksome School, Darlington, as it looks forward to its first full competitive season. Formed in July 2008, the North-Easts newest club is going from strength to strength and currently has a membership base of 50. Very much a development club, Darlington Tri has a large number of members who are new to the sport and hungry to learn the basics.
The club has three swim groups meeting at Branksome School on Sunday evenings, with the following training times: Intermediate 4-5pm; Development 5-6pm; Advanced 6-7pm. All sessions are coached according to ability levels. Runs are staged from the same venue. Coached spinning classes are held at the Dolphin Centre, Darlington, on Wednesdays between 7.30pm-8.30pm (until the end of March 2009). The swim cost is £2.50 and the spin cost is £3.
There are additional cycle sessions on Saturday mornings.

- Honorary President Georgina Rutherford

- Treasurer Andrew Collishaw
- Development and Event Officer Stuart Lynn
- Welfare Officer Alan Nixon
- Webmaster Rorie Mcintosh
