Founded in 2023, the Melbourne University Triathlon Club (MUTC) is established based on the core values of affordability, accessibility, and inclusivity. We mix training from the professional coach with relaxing social sessions to help members become better athletes and create meaningful connections. Whether it be training space, coaching, or support from fellow student athletes, the club community aims to provide students with everything they need for triathlon. We host 4-5 training sessions weekly on campus, and students participate in sessions based on interest and availability. Student athletes in the community hang out for regular training; we race in local competitions and host on-campus races to bring dynamics to students experiences. Join us to begin your triathlon journey!
MUTC is known for hosting races on campus.There are also numerous local races for you to choose from. Time to add some medals to your collection.
Open to all students with zero barriers – enjoy peer support, cultural diversity and mentorship in a judgment-free environment.
Chris from the Elite TriClub Momentum leads our swim and run. Student athletes will also quide you through the journey

President
Sihong(Leo) is an amateur triathlete and, professionally, a Marketer. In 2023, he founded the Melbourne University Triathlon Club (MUTC) with friends to create a supportive and professional environment for triathlon training. When he first arrived in Melbourne, he had difficulty finding an affordable and accessible triathlon community for young adults like him. Recognizing this gap, MUTC was established with the core values of affordability, accessibility, and inclusivity. He envisions a community where every member becomes a better triathlete while building meaningful connections along the way.

Passionate about mentoring motivated, humorous athletes, he also holds senior health management roles and board positions in Australia/Europe.
