LOVE RUGBY FESTIVAL – INSTRUCTIONS FOR BOOKING A TASTER SESSION
Welcome, here you will find all the information you’ll need to join in with our track run or swim training sessions available throughout the Love Rugby Festival (June 20th to July 6th, 2025).
These are free coached training sessions available to all abilities, and they last one hour.
Please note Each training session has a capacity of 30 participants and existing members will have priority booking. If a session is full, we kindly ask that you try to book for the following week. Should you find, once booked onto a session, that you are unable to attend please go online to the session you booked and cancel your attendance.
How to Book
Step 1 – Register your details on our website which will create a profile for you.
Step 2 – Email info@rugbytriathlon.org.uk to let us know you have registered. We will then issue your free pass which will be available to use throughout the Love Rugby Festival. The free pass can be viewed on your profile.
Step 3 – Book the session you would like to attend from the ‘Sessions’ tab, click on the session name. The system knows you have a ‘free pass’ so no payment is required. Your name will appear in the ‘bookings’ list for that session.
Please note If you are aged 16-17 years of age, we will require additional forms to be completed and parental consent for your attendance. We can do this via email before you book onto any session. If the forms are not returned before your chosen session, we will not be able to allow you to attend. This is to ensure we are following the British Triathlon Federation’s Safeguarding guidelines.
