Kick STARRT Newbie Triathlon Clinic
Thinking about doing your first triathlon, but don’t know where to start? Wanting to participate in the St. Albert Triathlon on Aug. 7 but feeling a bit overwhelmed? Have no fear! The St. Albert Road Runners & Triathlon Club (STARRT) can teach you how to go the distance.
The Kick STARRT Newbie Triathlon Clinic is designed to help people prepare for the St. Albert Triathlon, which is a 750-metre swim followed by a 20-kilometre bike and then a five-kilometre run. Participants can also choose to participate in the Tri a Tri, which is a more accessible option for first-timers. The Tri a Tri is a 250-metre swim followed by a 10-kilometre bike and two and a half-kilometre run.
The seven-week newbie clinic combines information sessions with practical swim, bike and running sessions. The goal is to attract more people to the sport and take the intimidation factor out of competing in a triathlon.
After Christmas, Christmas Social
Haven’t had enough Christmas? Want to keep the festive spirit alive through the January doldrums? Join your STARRT friends at The Ridge Social Eatery for some drinks, food and social fun.
Located at 4 Versailles Avenue, St. Albert Unit 105.
STARRT Christmas Card Run/Walk
Bring your partner and join us for a festive, social run/walk as STARRT members hand deliver Christmas cards to Club members living in the Deer Ridge and North Ridge neighbourhoods of St. Albert. Runners and walkers are encouraged to don festive Christmas attire (e.g. Santa hats, Christmas sweaters, jingle bells, red long johns) and prepare a Christmas card for each household to help extend the Christmas spirit. This is a purely social run/walk event. We will cover a distance of between ~5-8 kms in total.
After our run/walk come on down to Central Social Hall (525 St. Albert Trail) at noon for brunch.
Kindly RSVP by December 8th to Catherine Buhr at buhr.catherine@gmail.com so she can secure a reservation for our group. If you have any questions, please reach out to Catherine directly.
We look forward to seeing you on December 12th at 9 am..
