Don’t be fooled into thinking you need to spend exuberant amounts of money to get started in Triathlon. In fact, starting out is the very opposite. At Tri-Alliance, all you’ll need is a positive attitude, and any type of bike (preferably one with two wheels and that’s safe to ride on!).

SWIM:

Goggles and Swimmers will do just fine. If you have an wetsuit, bring that along too.

BIKE:

Helmet and a bicycle of any make, model or design is fine. Don’t forget to bring along your runners and bike shoes if you have specific pedals.

RUN:

Runners and comfortable running gear
