Research produced exclusively for TIA Members

TIA research covers:

(a) An in-depth UK triathlon participation report; and

(b) Consumer / athlete research via a mix of surveys and focus groups.

UK triathlon participation involves in-depth analysis of race result (finisher) data. Modelling of race starts per-person enables an estimate of the base of triathletes in the UK. This covers a historic and current view (2018-2024).

Consumer / athlete research is undertaken in parallel to the triathlon participation analysis. Here, a major athlete survey was conducted in Q4 2024 to determine areas such as: triathlon race participation, other races undertaken, training behaviour, product purchasing intent, demographics, etc.

Building on the athlete survey, other research will be undertaken in 2025. This will explore a range of areas, such as barriers to triathlon participation.

All research will be shared with TIA members via member-only reports and webinars to chat through the findings.

TIA members gain access to the research over their 12 month membership period and past research reports can also be accessed.
