Dunmow TRI - Tempted 2 TRI
Great Dunmow Triathlon Club was formed in April 2007 - when a group of
like-minded individuals, who train and swim at the Great Dunmow
Leisure Centre, decided to organise a club and structure some regular
training sessions. We now have a full range of triathlon equipment for members use.
The club is based at Great Dunmow Leisure Centre, and a variety of training sessions are held throughout the week.
Now affiliated to the British Triathlon Federation, we welcome anyone interested in training for, and/or participating in, Triathlon events.
