If you want to try and become a bit more active, regardless of your disability or medical condition, triathlon can be the sport for you.
If you want to try and become a bit more active, regardless of your disability or medical condition, triathlon can be the sport for you. If you are not sure about swimming you can do a duathlon (running and cycling) and if you don’t want to cycle you could either use a tandem, tricycle or other adapted bike or do an aquathlon (running and swimming). You can use a wheelchair for the running section.
