Avon Valley Triathletes


What We Do


Welcome to Avon Valley Triathletes, the home of the multi-sport arm of Avon Valley Runners.  Whether you’re a multiple Ironman, or thinking of your first duathlon, this is the place for you.

If you’re a member of AVR, you’re automatically a member of AVT at no extra charge. AVT is headed up by Caroline Scott, the Multi-Sport Secretary. Caroline also sits on the AVR Committee and is supported by the AVT working group. You can contact Caroline at avt@avonvalleyrunners.org.uk.

AVT is more than the sum of its parts – we believe being a member of a supportive group with similar interests makes us all better individually. No matter what challenge you’re taking on, you will find encouragement, advice, and very likely someone crazy enough to do it with you.

If you’re at all interested in triathlon, duathlon or any other '-athlon' involving swim, bike or run, come along to one of our regular sessions. All training and social/uncoached sessions are all pinned on the AVT Facebook Page

Coached Swimming

7am Mondays, Tuesday, Fridays and then 9pm-10pm Wednesdays with our partner club. Each session is £8 with AVT membership. You must already be able to swim 200m continuous front crawl to access this session. 

Social Run Training (AVT ‘Run to Breakfast’)

Alongside your full AVR run club offering we do an AVT ‘Run to Breakfast’ which happens intermittently throughout the year.  Whether it’s a 10k, a trail run, or a park run the breakfast will be worth it! To see the timetable you’ll need to join and to be a member of the AVT Facebook Group. If you’d like to turn up and try a session then please email: avt@avonvalleyrunners.org.uk.


Cycling (Segment Saturday)

The AVT Strava 'Segment of the Year' is a monthly cycling competition building to an achievement over the year for a special AVT award. Our regular social rides will support members competing in ‘Segment of the Year‘ if they wish. We will also be competing in various time trials throughout the year.


Bike Sessions

We have access to a variety of rides throughout the week that suit all abilities. Further details are on our Facebook page.

Upcoming Races / Events

Any upcoming races or events where you’ll see friendly AVT faces are shared on the members only AVT Facebook group. AVT work together on special focus events and take part in relays. There is also an AVT league where you can achieve awards for distance travelled (How Hard Did You Tri), overall achievement (main AVT league - where we look at  your best performances), Segment of the Month (cycling over the year) as well as recognition of improvement and inspiring others.




Come along and Try a Tri or Aquathlon


We often organise informal 'Tri a' events for beginner triathletes to have a go at multi sport in a friendly and supportive manner. There are no time pressures and plenty of members to speak to for advice. These events are shared on Facebook for members to get involved.
