Whether you're trying a triathlon for the first time, or a seasoned triathlete, training is always more fun with friends. This year's triathlon training will place you with a coach and a small group to help encourage you along the way. The training "season" will last 6 weeks starting the week of June 7th, 2026 and ending with the Cereal City Triathlon & Duathlon on July 18th, 2026. Each registrant will sign up for the day and time of the week that works best for him/her for a once a week group training session. A sprint triathlon training guide will be provided for individual daily training purposes as well. Registration is free for Cereal City Athletics Club Members, $10.00 for non members.
