Awards
Club awards are presented each year at the Kendal Tri Club Awards and Social Evening, a fun event held in the autumn.
Club members receive awards each year to recognise achievements in many different areas.
See below for full details of the core awards and a table of previous winners.
Best Newcomer
As a newcomer to the club or triathlon the most notable achievement will be recognised with this award. This award is chosen by the committee and coaches, and isn’t necessarily a results based award.
Most Improved
Again, chosen by the committee and coaches this award goes to the athlete showing the greatest improvement across the season.
Race Achievement
This award is presented for an exceptional performance or result throughout the season.
Special Achievement
This award is presented in recognition of a special achievement or contribution across the season.
Stirling Spirit Award
This award was started in 2019/20 in memory of Chris Stirling, a club member sadly no longer with us. The award is designed to capture Chris’ sense of adventure; made from locally sourced & sustainable materials, we hope it represents the environment and terrain where he loved to race.
The award is presented to a club member who has demonstrated consistency, commitment, and resilience. Given to acknowledge achievements that inspire others, not necessarily race or results based.
Annual Club Colours
Our new Club Colours awards are for all club members to take part in. This replaces the Club Championship system.
