About_

Brighton Phoenix is an athletics and triathlon club. Our coaches and athletes promote inclusive excellence from the track to ultras, short course multisports to long-distance triathlons.

We offer training and racing opportunities to everyone from 9 years and over, in a spirit of friendship and mutual support.

Phoenix rising

Currently around 400 members are training and competing in running and multisport at local, regional, national and international levels. While we do encourage our members to race, it’s always a matter of personal choice.

The club is managed and led by experienced volunteers. Coaches are UK Athletics and British Triathlon Federation qualified and our Board has specific legal, management and sport administration skills and experience.

Inclusive excellence

Excellence is not measured in just performance, but in the performance relative to someone’s ability, effort and general commitment.

Athletes often balance work and family commitments, so within this context, a 4-hour marathon for one athlete is a bigger achievement than a sub 3-hour marathon for another. It’s all relative – and we celebrate everyone’s successes.

We are non-discriminatory and non-judgmental: we are about everyone being the best athlete they possibly can.
