Triathlon Québec is proud of its investment in young athletes through the School Triathlon program. Every year, our team works directly with dozens of schools and clubs, and thousands of young people across the province. From initiation to triathlon to the implementation of structured programs to support young people in their practice, the federation is dedicated to increasing accessibility to sport and the development of healthy lifestyle habits.
Our will is present, our execution is concrete and our achievements are possible thanks to your donations. That’s why the current fundraising campaign is so important to relaunch our School Triathlon program. This program promotes physical activity among schoolchildren, particularly in underprivileged areas, and has three distinct components.
The first component of the program is the organization ofTRISCO EventEvents, for schools wishing to diversify their sports offer. We offer technical support to help schools organize a triathlon, as well as the loan of equipment on the day of the event to dress up the schoolyard with triathlon gear. We’re happy to help any school wishing to organize a triathlon, duathlon, aquathlon or winter triathlon!
The second component of the program is the 1-2-TRISCO kit. The kit is a tool for teachers wishing to support the practice of triathlon in a pedagogical manner. It lists the skills required to practice triathlon and classifies them into seven levels. The kit includes a number of tools, such as guides, worksheets and reports for participants. The kit is readily available to schools, free of charge.
The third part of the program is Drive to success. This program consists of providing fleets of bicycles to schools in disadvantaged areas wishing to integrate duathlon/triathlon into their physical education program, in particular via the other two components of the School Triathlon program. The equipment is initially loaned for the first three years, and if it is well used, it will be donated to the school to ensure the program’s continuation and sustainability.
Would you like to contribute to the development of the School Triathlon program? You have two options: You can participate in the 12-Hour Challenge, a day of virtual sports to take on the sporting challenge of your choice and raise funds to support your efforts, or you can make a donation to Triathlon Québec through the 12-Hour Challenge activity by supporting a team or a participant!
Thank you for helping us make triathlon more accessible and introduce more young people to our magnificent multi-sport!
