Welcome to the Tri-Lakeland website!
Tri-Lakeland was formed in 1987 by local athlete Barry Johnson and has grown fairly rapidly in the last few years and now boasts over 70 members and counting.
We're a very friendly triathlon club based in and around the beautiful market town of Cockermouth on the western edge of the Lake District. The club has developed over the last few years to cater for a growing demand from it's members and now include weekly run, bike, and swim sessions, not forgetting social events!

Our aim is to provide a safe, encouraging, and friendly atmosphere where members can access weekly coached sessions and train with like minded people.
