Tri for Cancer
"Make your next triathlon about more than you and the finish line. Support research into our most common men's and women's cancers."
- Craig Alexander, 3 x Ironman World Champion
Tri to Fight Cancer provides free group coaching for your next triathlon. Make it a race bigger than you. Here's how:
- Nominate a triathlon - any event and any distance from Enticer to Ironman.
- Select a coach that suits your race goals. You have an option to nominate your current coach or to receive online coaching.
- Start training with free group coaching over a set training period until race day.
- Fund a cure by fundraising as part of your Tri to Fight Cancer effort. You'll receive a fundraising tool kit, web page and personal support.
