Triathlon is a combined sporting/fun event where you swim, cycle and run.

You can try out different events to find out which type of triathlon you enjoy most. It’s a great way to stay in great shape and make new friends.

The One Life Racing Triathlon club is a community based club in Hexham. The club caters for athletes aged 8 to 108 and all abilities, from juniors to super veterans, beginners to Great Britain internationals and organises weekly Swimming, Cycling and Running sessions.

Over the past few years our membership has grown quickly and we now have over 160 members and the numbers are increasing every day.

The ethos of the club revolves around taking part and enjoyment. It seems that all the fun has produced some fantastic talent.

We have an excellent training programme which helps novice and experienced tri-athletes reach their goals and ambitions.

We are a friendly club with a vibrant social scene and welcome non-members to attend our training sessions in order to ‘tri us out’.

One Life Racing was established in 2004 by a small group of enthusiastic athletes, One Life Racing triathlon club is a friendly, non profit making organisation dedicated to encourage junior and senior members alike to enjoy the exciting sport of triathlon.

Sanctioned by British Triathlon we now have over 160 members of all abilities ranging from National and World champions to complete beginners wishing to compete in their first triathlon. One Life Racing triathlon club is run by the members with an elected committee who organise structured training programmes for all abilities with a simple aim of creating a friendly and welcoming environment to train, socialise and compete in.

We meet at Hexham’s Wentworth Leisure Centre for most of our coached sessions. This new facility boasts the latest gym equipment and six lane 25m pool. With an all weather running track, it makes it the perfect venue for our triathlon club.

Each year our club has grown from strength to strength with more of our members building on previous achievements and personal goals and now regularly compete in duathlons, sprint and standard, full and half Ironman Triathlons all over the country and abroad.

One Life Racing maintains its core aim of encouraging junior members into the sport. We currently coach over 50 junior members who regularly meet for planned sessions with great enthusiasm, many of whom have progressed into the North- East Academy of triathlon and no doubt it will be a matter of time before we see a budding star.

We believe in forging strong links with other clubs and organisations to enable us to specifically target areas of expertise within the accumulative disciplines of swimming, cycling and running. Together we are able to provide a more comprehensive programme of activities for the benefit or our members.

We organise two main events in the year. First is our successful kids’ triathlon based in Haltwhistle, Northumberland. This year the event will be held on 27th June (please see our home page for full details). The other event is the award winning One Life standard distance event in June based at Duridge Bay.

2009 will see One Life Racing building on its success and continue to offer excellent training and social activities for all members to enjoy.
