INSPIRING LOCAL ATHLETES

WTC is a not-for-profit incorporated club, serving Woodstock and Oxford County. We’re local triathletes at all levels of interest, ability and experience looking to improve our fitness or performance in a safe and social environment.

About Us

The Woodstock Triathlon Club [WTC] was founded in 2015 and incorporated as a not-for-profit club.

WTC serves Woodstock, Ontario and the surrounding region. The club has grown to over 30 members with a diverse range of athletic goals.

We welcome athletes of all abilities and have members working toward their first triathlon while others are ironman veterans training for their next goal race. Single sport athletes and those just seeking to improve their fitness are all welcome to join.

We train together to improve our skills, technique, and fitness. At the same time, we have a good time and enjoy the social aspects of being a member of a club.

Our Mission

To inspire local athletes in Woodstock and surrounding area at all levels of interest, ability and experience and to build the interest of multisport disciplines in a safe and social environment. We strive to offer our members up to date training information and a variety of coached and member-led training opportunities to assist them in attaining their individual goals. We will, where possible, promote the benefits of multisport disciplines within the community as a healthy active lifestyle to communicate, encourage and motivate each other.

Training

The coaches, Dave Jenkin and Jonathan Arnel and the rest of the board of directors are working hard to provide meaningful training opportunities for all club members throughout the year.

Indoor Cycle Class

Ride your own bike on a stationary trainer in-person and gain the motivating power of working hard in a group setting.

Training includes; MVO2 sets, HIIT sets, Threshold sets, Hill climb sets, and more. All designed to improve your fitness and technique.

Lane Swim

Fall, winter, and spring

We swim at the local pool from October through to June. Our sessions are coached. They are designed to improve your stroke, endurance, speed and fitness as you work toward your next goal event.

Open Water Swim

Summer

We swim Wednesday evenings starting in late May and continuing through to early September.

Participants are required to either wear a wetsuit or swim with an approved swim-buddy. There is a lifeguard at every session with others in kayaks to keep you safe.

We have a 650 m triangular course set up in the lake at Park Haven Resort in Innerkip.

Group Rides

Summer

We start riding outdoors on Saturday mornings in the spring. Our routes take us to London, Stratford, Paris, Tillsonburg, Baden and beyond.

We offer a variety of distances to suit all levels of cyclist. Riders are encouraged to ride in their zone 2 but if riders want to Hammer it they can do that too.

This training is free for all members.

Track Workouts

Late spring and summer

We begin track workouts Tuesday evenings in Spring and change to mornings once summer arrives. The workouts are structured to suit a variety of goals and move you toward achieving a PB in your next event.

This training is free for all members.

KidS Du

KidS Du - Non Competive Fun!

We had a great turn out in our last event and we are looking forward to seeing everyone back at Southside Park next June.

KidS Du is a run-bike-run "challenge event" that can be completed by all, but it will test their fitness. One of our goals, in hosting KidS Du, is to promote a healthy active lifestyle.

All proceeds are donated to children's charities in Oxford county.
