Welcome to the Leicester Triathlon club (also known as the Zebras).  

We are a friendly triathlon club based in Leicester welcoming all abilities. We compete in every Triathlon distance from super sprint to Ironman. We have first time triathletes, British triathlon age group competitors aswell as Ironman world championship competitors.  

As a collective there isn't much we don’t know about Triathlon, knowledge we are more than happy to share, together with the war stories that led to us learning in the first place! And if that isn’t enough to inspire you to join us in 2025, our swim coach (Craig Twigg) is a former professional triathlete in the ironman and half ironman distances - so what we don’t know about Triathlon he will!
