Shetland has some amazingly talented, swimmers, cyclists and runners, but very few who have yet tried to compete in all three disciplines of the sport of triathlon.

Triathlon is a fast growing sport across Scotland and is now one of the 18 sports approved for inclusion in the NatWest Island Games.

Anyone interested in setting up triathlon club in Shetland is invited to attend this public meeting to consider setting up some triathlon events in Shetland and/or forming a local club.
