What our Juniors have to say…

I have been a part of CTC for 9 years now and I’m so grateful for all the friends and opportunities that it has produced. I have made so many amazing friends from training and racing and coming through the junior program. Training has always been competitive but fun and I have never failed to look forward to any tri club event. The program was also a great stepping stone for joining the triathlon development pathway and now I am able to mix the more casual club racing with more intense races, which has kept the sport engaging and fun.

Petra 16

What I love about the CTC Junior program is the games we play like bullrush, survival tag and 44 homes. I also likes when we go to the Tonkin Oval. I also enjoy the Christmas Run.

Great community, lots of fun, friends chatting through training sessions and supportive coaches guiding you every step of your triathlon journey.

Kate, 17

Through the junior program I have had so many new exciting opportunities like traveling around the country and making new connections and friends. It has helped me so much to develop as an athlete and taught me everything I need to know about triathlon.

I have enjoyed learning about how to get better at each leg of the triathlons.
