The Triathlon London League is designed to foster rivalry between teams in the London region, and to support the races organised by London region clubs. As a big London club, with our own race to promote, this is right up our street!
The scoring is worked out by taking the finishing positions of the top 3 men, top woman, and top vet (male or female) from each club. Clubs are ranked at each race based on this 5-person team, and then each club's 3 best races over the season are used to decide the winner.
The races are a mixture of duathlons, sprint tris and aquathlons. All are easy to reach from South West London, and all are very cheap to enter. They make good practice for your "A" events and can easily be fitted into even the most demanding training programme - just ask your coach!
REMINDER: when entering these races, make sure you put "Ful-On Tri" as your club, otherwise your result won't count to the team score.
Remember, you can use the Race Calendar to register your participation in these League races, in addition to other key events.

Duathlon on the twisty and hilly Redbridge cycling circuit. Big cycle leg relative to run and also a tough hill on the course, so one for the bikers. We will be defending our fine victory here last year so if you are marshalling on Satuday at the Ful-on duathlon then great opportunity to race on Sunday. 7.5k/40k/5k RBR |

Really nice friendly race in a surprisingly rural corner of London. Free coke and doughnuts at the finish, one-wave mass-start lake swim, mixed-terrain run and fast undulating bike route round Harefield village. Unusual swim/run/bike format favours the bikers and avoids T2 jelly-legs. 750m/5k/20k SRB |

Friendly aquathlon tucked away in South East London. Short distance makes it easy to integrate with your regular Saturday ride. 500m swim followed by flat grassland run round the playing fields of Eltham. Good spot prizes and goody bags. 500m/5k SR |
