About Us

Triathlon Club Since 2015

Providing Expert & Quality Triathlon Coaching For Over 10 Years

Tri-Rivington was founded by Ray McGloin with a simple but powerful vision—creating an inclusive triathlon club where athletes of all levels could train together without ego, supporting and encouraging each other every step of the way. From complete beginners to experienced competitors, everyone is welcomed into a community that values camaraderie, progression, and enjoyment of the sport.

This ethos remains at the heart of the club today, making Tri-Rivington a place where athletes can push their limits, achieve their goals, and most importantly, enjoy the journey together.

Our History

Tri-Rivington was founded over 10 years ago by Ray Mcgloin, he created a club which is fully inclusive, a club where there are no ego’s and a club where we all come together and support each other in everything we do. Before his passing in 2022, Ray had been coaching since 1978 across a range of disciplines and sports. Over the last twenty years he focused his attention on the different duathlon and triathlon events including Ironman.
He competed in seven long course triathlons, fourteen middle distance ones, plus many half and full marathons, as well as numerous ultra distance cycling, running and swimming events.

When I first joined I couldn’t swim a stroke and hadn’t been on a bike since a child. Since then I’ve completed numerous triathlons  including seven 70.3s and 3 full distance Ironmans both in the UK and in Europe and couldn’t have done any of it without the help and support of the club.
