Other Universities with AU Triathlon Clubs

We asked other Universities who compete at BUCS level, have an Athletic Union (AU) Triathlon Club and believe they could cater for the needs of an Elite or aspiring Elite triathlete to get in touch. The institutions listed below got back to us.

Due to the number of institutions we contacted we do not believe this to be an exhaustive list. If you are looking at options outside those entered below we would advise you check directly with the university concerned to find out more information.
