COLT Junior

Thanks for taking the time to find out more about COLT Juniors – a triathlon club (swim, bike and run) where children have fun, make friends and are inspired to be the best they can be.


We’re an inclusive club for 8-18 year olds, who all want to take part in multi-sports – including triathlon, duathlon, modern pentathlon, biathlon and other variants of swim, bike and/or run. From competing in local events through to representing Great Britain in international competitions, we support all young athletes, whatever their ambition. We work with other local single sports clubs, such as Carnforth Otters for swimming and Salt Ayre Cog Set for cycling, and encourage our members to train independently across the three disciplines.

So whether you want to join us for fun to try something new, complete your first multi-sport event or to improve your performance, we’re a friendly club where you can achieve your goals. We hold British Triathlon Trimark Club Bronze accreditation and we are affiliated with Triathlon England.

The club has a Facebook page, which is regularly updated and which you are welcome to join and post in: COLT Juniors Facebook.


If you’d like to join, please register on SportMember. SportMember is available as an app and a website. It is the main way the club keeps in touch with parents/carers and manages events. Membership is just £10 per annum per child, and includes:

  • The ability to enter races as a junior COLT – with plenty of support usually on offer to those wearing our kit.
  • Find out first about our own Triathlon and Duathlon races, usually held at Salt Ayre Leisure Centre.
  • Free loan of spare COLT Juniors tri suits and road bikes (subject to availability – please ask for more details).
  • Occasional club training sessions in transition skills (moving from swim to bike, and from bike to run, as quickly as possible!). We are also aiming to put on some run and possibly bike specific training in 2026, to complement the single sports training that many of our members get with their other clubs.
  • Social activities, such as family fun days and family bike rides, where members come together socially.


If you have any questions or want to get in touch, please post on Facebook or email [email protected]
