Mum and Baby Introduction to Duathlon Programme

Triathlon Ireland and Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council have teamed up to bring you a Mum and Baby's Introduction to Duathlon Programme. This free programme gives you the chance to try 2 triathlon disciplines (bike and run) in a safe and social environment with other new mums. Everyone will have their baby with them so you don't have to worry about disrupting the session; everyone will be in the same boat! All babies and toddlers up to 2 years old are welcome.

Where:

The group will meet at Lough Moss Leisure Centre on Tuesday mornings from 9:30am to 11:30am for 6 weeks beginning Tuesday 4th November. You will finish each session with some tea, coffee and biscuits but there is no expectation to stay for this part if you can't. The programme will finish with a mini-duathlon during your final session on Tuesday 9th December. There is no expectation for you to complete a specific distance or time for this event and it is just a chance to give a duathlon a go.

What to expect:

These sessions are coached by Triathlon Ireland coaches who will meet you on arrival and will be happy to answer any questions.

Sessions include cycling on the spin bike and running inside. The sessions will be tailored for the group and you don't have to take part in all sessions, just see how you feel! There will be plenty of room in the hall for prams and a soft play area will be set up in the middle of the hall too. Babies and toddlers will remain the parents responsibility at all times.

There will also be a room available if you ever need to take your baby out for a break or want a quiet place to feed or settle them. Your coach will show you this room on arrival

If you have any questions at all in advance please contact YW1pbmEgfCB0cmlhdGhsb25pcmVsYW5kICEgY29t who will be happy to help.
