About
English Bay Triathlon Club
Welcome
The English Bay Triathlon Club (EBTC) promotes and supports participation in triathlon in an inclusive, supportive and non-intimidating environment. Our membership reflects the diversity of the community in which we live and in particular attracts many lesbians and gay men living in downtown Vancouver.
Our goal is to have fun while enriching our lives by achieving our personal best in fitness and triathlon multi-sport.
EBTC is operated as a not-for-profit organization by a volunteer board of directors. We are affiliated with Triathlon BC, English Bay Swim Club and Vancouver Frontrunners.
Training
Cycling
Our official Cycling training season runs from February to June of each year.
Training activities such as group rides and bike skill clinics are posted in our Yahoogroups! site. In addition, members are encouraged to identify their race goals, and share travel and lodging arrangements to attend races.
Running
EBTC has partnered with Vancouver Frontrunners to assist you in improving your running.
Membership in the Vancouver Frontrunners is available at the time of EBTC registration for an additional $10.
Swimming
EBTC does not currently offer swim training.
