The 2020 Holiday Gift Guide for Triathletes

Since triathlon has three components—swimming, cycling and running—on paper it seems as though it's the easiest sport to buy a gift for, but in reality, it can be a little overwhelming. 

Especially true for gift givers who aren't triathletes themselves, it can be tough to find a gift without eliciting thoughts of "what's this" and "what's that for" as you browse all the seemingly endless products. 

Don't worry—we live and breathe this stuff, so you don't have to. From sunglasses and a multisport watch, to triathlon shoes and a waterproof backpack, your triathlete will love the competitive edge they'll get from any of these triathlon-themed gifts this holiday season.
