Within the framework of the Tri4All project two complementary deliverables have been developed to support triathlon federations, clubs, coaches, volunteers and sport organisations in making triathlon more accessible to disabled people.
D2.2 – Manual: Standard Operating Procedures for the organisation of “Be Active” Sport Weeks MANUAL BE ACTIVE TRI4ALL (EN – ITA -FRA – SPA)
It provides a practical framework for organising inclusive Open Days aimed at introducing people with disabilities to para-triathlon in a safe, welcoming and non-competitive environment. The Manual supports clubs in planning and delivering local activities during Be Active Week, including guidance on registration, reporting, logistics, accessibility, safety, communication and visibility actions. It also includes adaptable sport modules for swimming, running/wheelchair racing, cycling, handbike and tandem activities, offering concrete exercises that coaches can tailor to participants’ different abilities and needs.
D2.3 – Guidelines for engaging disabled people in Triathlon GUIDELINES ENGAGEMENT PARA (EN – ITA -FRA – SPA)
It complements the Manual by providing a broader methodological and operational framework for inclusion in paratriathlon. The Guidelines identify the main barriers to participation — physical, safety-related, organisational, psychological, social and economic — and propose practical strategies to overcome them. They focus on key disciplines such as swimming, paracycling, handbike and transitions, highlighting the importance of adapted techniques, progressive learning, safe environments, trained support staff and clear roles for organisers, coaches, volunteers, handlers and athletes.
Together, these deliverables form a comprehensive toolkit to help the triathlon community create more inclusive pathways, from first contact with the sport to long-term participation and competitive development. By combining operational procedures, sport activity modules and inclusive engagement guidelines, Tri4All contributes to strengthening the capacity of clubs and federations to welcome disabled people into triathlon and to promote sport as a driver of empowerment, confidence, social inclusion and equal access to physical activity.
The structure and approach are consistent with the communication style of similar EU-funded triathlon initiatives, where deliverables are presented as practical tools for clubs, coaches and federations to promote inclusive participation through sport.
