Get ready for the most fun you can have on a swim-bike-run! The Clapham Chasers Club Championships is back for 2026!
This year the Club Championships will take place in Reading, Friday 11th to Sunday 13th September.
Club Champs is a fun weekend away with a triathlon tagged on the end. Yes don’t be fooled by the name, Club Champs is much more about the fun than the race and we don’t take the triathlon element too seriously (unless you want to take it seriously that is!) The trip typically involves swimming, cycling and running adventures across the weekend and more importantly plenty of group meals, socials and an infamous visit to a provincial nightclub.
Also Club Champs isn’t just for the triathletes - swimmers, cyclists and runners can get involved too by signing up to a relay team.
