Mission Statement
To enable athletes of all levels of ability to achieve their own aspirations in their chosen athletic activity, exemplifying good moral and sporting values, and thereby promoting in Maltese society the concept of Athletics as a Way of Life
St. Patrick's A.C. is setting up a Triathlon Section to promote the sports of Triathlon and to support all its members who would like to get updated and participate in this sport.
With this in mind, the SPAC TRI Section will be launching its first event - TRY a TRI! - an informative talk at our own Club House at Gudja on Friday 5th March 2010 at 19:30.
This talk will be presented by Malta's top triathletes and current National Triathlon Champions : Danica Bonello Spiteri and Dermot Galea. Both will focus on the basic needs and training required to successful compete and finish a triathlon race. Those who never did triathlon before might find this talk as a great way to enter into this sports and those who never plan to do triathlon will still benefit since the talk will include tips on training, nutrition and periodisation for the endurance athlete.
So please mark you calendar, tell all your friends (members and not) , and join us in for this first event of the St. Patrick's A.C. Triathlon Section.
The Dingli 10 is one of the established events in the Maltese race calendar, known for its scenic beauty and the challwnging route. Make an appointment with this year's edition .

31 Athletes joined a cycling tour on the 19th and 20th September. The tour covered a distance of over 200Km between Catania to Pozzallo in Sicily. The Leisure cycling branch has been officially recognized by the club during the last General Meeting. A number of existing St. Patrick's athletes already joined the branch, which is expected to grow by attracting leisure cyclists to this club.
More details to follow - in the meantime you may wish to watch the video filmed and edited by Dale Brincat - well done!
