Kolhapur Sports Club's Triathlon and Duathlon has carved a special place in the hearts of triathletes to come visit the City of Kolhapur and compete in one of the grand sports event of Maharashtra. We have set a bar as the 'Triathlon Pioneers of South Maharashtra' What stands this triathlon out of box is the open water swimming field that is Rajaram Lake. As each one of you will stand on the start line ready to undertake this challenge, your adventure story will begin. We assure you that you will go back with happy moments, great experience and stories to share. Talking about the KSC, we are a non-profit sports club registered with the Charity Commission of Kolhapur. The club was formed by a team of athletes and triathletes from different age groups, profession and sports background, who had the passion to bring about a positive change in the society. Since 8 years, the member athletes have participated in various national and international marathons as well as triathlons and in a short span of me, most of them have achieved Ironman or Ironman 70.3, while the rest have atleast achieved podiums international events. The motto of the club is to reintroduce people, especially the younger generation to the pleasure of playing a sport on field. Thus, all of us being the hard-core sports enthusiasts, we look forward to providing you a memorable experience from the start line to the finish line.
