Performance Triathlon

LTPC is the world’s only fully integrated Olympic, Paralympic, and university-based triathlon performance programme, created in partnership with Loughborough University and British Triathlon. The Centre supports World Class Programme athletes, high-performing students, nominated pathway athletes, and, through selective access, professional and international triathletes.

Our goal is to support athletes in becoming world-class performers and well-rounded individuals, ready to meet and exceed the demands of elite triathlon on the global stage.

Training is based on campus and includes access to a 50m swimming pool, indoor and outdoor athletics tracks, and elite performance gyms. Running and cycling take place on local trails, quiet country roads, and traffic-free circuits ideal for technical development, group work, and transition practice.

These squads support athletes competing or preparing for international success. Each athlete is assigned a lead coach and benefits from a world-class support team, including strength and conditioning, physiotherapy, nutrition, and physiology. 

For emerging athletes targeting BUCS podiums and domestic National Series success, the development squad provides a structured, supportive performance environment.

In exceptional cases, athletes may be offered flexible academic pathways, including stretched degree options to support both their sporting and educational goals. Eligible English student-athletes can also access the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS) - a Sport England-backed initiative supporting dual-career athletes.

The LTPC has four selective training groups and through a collaborative process between both coaches and athletes aims to ensure athletes enter environments that best supports them in developing both in and out of triathlon.
 
Athletes who would like to be considered for membership to any of the three selective squads should complete the application below to the best of their knowledge.
