BUILT AROUND YOU

This is an example of a typical fully guided Triathlon Training Camp.
Expect approximately two training sessions per day,
combining swimming, cycling and running throughout the week.

The programme is tailored to your fitness, experience and target race.
Training volume, distances and individual sessions can be adjusted
according to your goals, recovery, weather and local conditions.

Our bike sessions are about more than simply accumulating training kilometres.
We use some of the Western Cape’s most spectacular roads as our training ground,
with routes including Chapman’s Peak, Clarence Drive, Franschhoek Pass
and the Stellenbosch Winelands.

The week finishes on Friday morning with your own
personal 3YO Triathlon, bringing together the swimming,
cycling and running from the week. Our traditional course is approximately
1 km swim, 43 km bike and 8 km run, but distances can be
adapted to your fitness and race goals.

TRIATHLON training CAMP

GROUPS, CLUBS & TEAMS

For larger groups, triathlon clubs and teams, we usually arrange accommodation at the Stellenbosch Academy of Sport (SAS), a dedicated sports facility designed for visiting athletes and teams.

It makes an excellent base for a Triathlon Training Camp, particularly when everyone needs to stay together and we're coordinating swimming, cycling, running, bikes and transport throughout the week.

Group accommodation is quoted according to group size, dates and availability.

STAY IN STELLENBOSCH

Our Triathlon Training Camps are based in Stellenbosch, in the heart of the Cape Winelands.

For individuals and couples, we arrange comfortable accommodation in or close to central Stellenbosch, selected according to your dates and availability.

Staying centrally puts restaurants, cafés and shops within easy reach, while the surrounding roads, running routes and training facilities make Stellenbosch an ideal base for the week.

TRAINING IN THE WESTERN CAPE

Swim. Bike. Run. World-class training in the Cape Winelands and beyond.

SWIMMING

Swimming is an important part of every 3YO Triathlon Camp. Your week includes coached swim sessions, including swim video analysis, allowing us to look at your technique and identify practical improvements to take home with you.

TRIATHLON CAMP

CYCLING

We don’t travel to South Africa to stare at a power meter on the same stretch of road all week. Bike sessions use some of the Western Cape’s spectacular routes, including Chapman’s Peak, Clarence Drive, Franschhoek Pass and the Stellenbosch Winelands, with distance and intensity adapted to your fitness and target race.

TRIATHLON CAMP

CHAPMAN’S PEAK + BRICK RUN

One of the highlights of the week. We travel to Cape Town for a 3–4 hour ride through the Cape Peninsula and over Chapman’s Peak, followed immediately by a 5 km brick run. Afterwards you can stay in Cape Town and explore while we take care of your rental bike.

TRIATHLON CAMP

YOUR PERSONAL 3YO TRIATHLON

We finish the camp on Friday morning with your own personal 3YO Triathlon, bringing the entire week together. Our traditional course is approximately 1 km swim, 43 km bike and 8 km run, although distances can be adapted to your fitness and target race.

Triathlon training camps

OPEN-WATER SWIMMING

Where conditions allow, we include open-water swimming during the week. These sessions are particularly useful for practising sighting, swimming in a wetsuit and becoming more comfortable and confident outside the pool.

Stellenbosch offers an enormous variety of running routes, from quiet roads and vineyard tracks to hills and trails. The week combines longer runs, recovery sessions and brick runs, with the programme adapted to your current training and race goals.

WHAT OUR ATHLETES SAY

-10 Celsius & 70km/h wind in Geneva - makes one want to go to some sunny, warm place... Escape to South Africa for some cycling & running with Annchen Clarke (Kona World Championships finisher) and Bram Peereboom(MTB champ) - these two make the most amazing training camps! Top-notch coaching, assured security (in SA!) and a lot of extra attention: sharing with us a bit of their South African dolce vita (wine, wine and more wine!) <3 Dankie Annchen & Bram!

In case you were wondering I did sneak in some time for my iron man training in South Africa! Overdue thank you to Bram & Annchen for arranging out cycling, swimming & running adventures and taking me in as part of the family! I had such a wonderful time, despite having a little too much wine the day before! All my love!

Training in Stellenbosch is a MUST for all triathlon or multisport athletes! Annchen & Bram are super hosts and coaches offering a really focused and personal training camp. I could not recommend more packing your bike up and heading to 3YO in the stunning Western Cape with first class international athlete facilities. You may even bump into a pro-star or two!

There is no denying that every trip changes our way of thinking and seeing the world. It is almost impossible to travel to a different place, to experience new things, to live incredible adventures and then to remain as if nothing had happened. An internal click type occurs! But surely travel is striking in different ways: some are more philosophical and make you rethink your life; while others take your breath away and leave you full of adrenaline. There are priceless experiences, and one of them this time was to practice triathlon in an incredible place and counting on the great help of a local specialized company, the @3yo_trainingcamps
