In conjunction with Education City, TriClub Doha organises a series of Aquathlon Races.
The aquathlon takes place at the Qatar Foundation Education City Qatar Academy, using their 50m indoor pool for the swim leg, with the run course on closed-off internal roads in Education City. This series caters to all ages and levels, from the complete beginner finding their legs to more experienced athletes wanting to stretch themselves on the sprint course and is a great way to build up for triathlons.
Registration can be done at registration.triclubdoha.com
