Membership is mainly from local areas of Dover, Deal, Canterbury, Folkestone and Thanet, although some are spread throughout Kent and neighbouring counties.

The Event is a sprint triathlon with a swim of 400m a 14K bike ride and a 5K run.
The Deal 10K race, now in its 42nd year, is called "The Dinosaur" in fond memory of club co-founder Roger Francis-Darby, who sadly died of skin cancer in 2000.
