Triathlon

The Club has been instrumental in the development of Triathlon in Malta, having been the pioneer of the sport on the island.  

The summer Sprint Series have been a staple on Maltese triathletes’ calendar, the event being held for over two decades. 

 

The Club boasts some of Malta’s top triathletes on its books including Dermot Galea – National Triathlon Champion for more than ten consecutive times and the first Maltese triathlete to qualify for the Ironman World Championships in Kailua-Kona, Hawai`i, USA. Also on the books is the prolific triathlete Rudolph Agius who has qualified for Kona twice and has registered qualifications for Ironman 70.3 World and European Championships several times.  

The Club has also provided invaluable assistance to the Malta Youth Triathlon Academy providing logistical assistance towards the hosting of Youth Races.
