Our member-only aquathlons are a highlight and a benefit of Triclub Doha membership - free, timed race events taking placed place roughly once a month. They are a great way to check your progress over the season and prepare for triathlons, particularly open-water events. The swim and run are lap-based, for a more social vibe, and hopefully you can see your lap times improve over the season. These are low key races; no medals, no podiums, but participation and position earn points towards the Club Championship. Remember to bring your timing chip as we can't guarantee that you'll feature in the results without it.
