Team Asha Triathlon 2025
If you are worried about committing to the program, we invite you to the first two weeks which are open to all without a need for enrollment or a commitment to fundraise.
All the money raised through this program gets distributed among 20+ NGOs that we work with across India.
This is a very valid concern that every new member of Team Asha has. We will help you with ideas, materials, fundraising clinics etc to help you with your fundraising. During every weekend training, your group captain will help you keep on track. Till date, more than 80% of our bikers have raised more than the minimum fundraising targets.
Team Asha mentors and other Asha volunteers will work with you throughout the program and beyond to help you honor your pledge of raising the target amount. Please see this program as a means of supporting and encouraging the underprivileged children and not simply a biking-training program. Without your fundraising efforts, it would be difficult for Asha to continue supporting these projects. We urge you to do your best to honor your commitment in helping these children. If in the end you still fail to reach the target then you are required to cover the balance by yourself.
Asha for Education is a 100% volunteer driven organization. Asha-SV has a list of projects we support every year. 100% of your donation goes towards the projects because our operating expenses will be covered by the registration fee you pay. If you want to donate to a particular project of your interest, please contact sv.projects@ashanet.org.
Just like any other endurance event, you will need some level of commitment, the training program kicks off in April. Most of you will start pool training much before that. Our program starts with smaller endurance activities and help you build up as you approach your event date. To start with we will have Bike + Run group training on weekend, while you are swim training in the pool. We will add group open water swims to weekends around May. On the weekday evenings we will have bike on trainer and speed run exercises.
Yes, there is a minimum requirement for the swim and bike portion of the training. For biking you should be comfortable riding on the roads following all traffic rules. For the swim portion by the time we get in to open water training session in May you should be able to swim at least 300 yards (freestyle) in the pool with good breathing technique.
Good news is that you are engaged in a regular endurance activity. With proper training and coaching you will be able to do all the activities. Our training program will mix these activities so that you are ready on the race day. Most of the tri-athletes have been doing endurance run or bike events prior to joining Triathlon.
No you can sign up for the ones you want to participate.
Registration fee ensures your spot in the triathlon training program. All registrants get a running tshirt, biking jersey and a bike bottle. The registration fee is used to cover all the expenses for the training program, so every dollar you raise directly goes to support the education of underprivileged children in India.
Other costs include swimming, biking, and running gears, race registration etc.
Feel free to contact program coordinators or coaches to discuss any questions or concerns you may have. Coordinators can be reached at tri@sv.team-asha.org.
