Taking over the 26 Coaching mantle from Kate is Henry Wright. He's been involved with 26 since it's inception over 10 years ago and brings with him a wealth of coaching knowledge and experience.
Thank You Kate
Kate has made the difficult decision to leave Hong Kong to head back to the U.K. She has worked tirelessly to build 26 into a powerhouse of youth athletic development in Asia and we wish her all the best. She will be in Hong Kong until September. Click here for full statement.

At the end of this Summer we will be turning a new page at 26 Coaching. The time has come for us to say goodbye to a leader in the female coaching world of Asia, and our Head Coach Kate. After over 10 years at the helm of 26 Coaching developing and guiding hundreds of youth athletes, some of which to reach the very top of elite competition, Kate will be heading back to the U.K. During her time at 26 Coaching she has been fundamental in the development of many of our Elite athletes who have moved on to the Hong Kong Development and National Squads. Of these athletes many have represented Hong Kong and placed or won high level races including Asian Champs, with one athlete even racing at the Tokyo Olympics. Not only has she been Head Coach of 26 Coaching, but has also been a proud member of the Hong Kong Sports Institute coaching team and has often represented HK with the team on a number of overseas trips. On top of all her coaching achievements she also competed for many years as one of the fastest athletes in her age group in Asia at all distances including 70.3 and full Ironman, often racing in the Elite category. All of this as well as finding time to raise her two daughters Hannah and Freya.
Kate is truly a champion role model and through her dedication, experience, and passion for sport she has shaped 26 Coaching into one of the leading triathlon and multiport providers in Asia.
Taking over the 26 mantle will be Henry Wright, who has been assisting 26 Coaching and Kate for many years. Henry has a wealth of experience with which he will continue to drive the club forward for many years to come.
Thank you Kate, we hope to see you regularly returning to Hong Kong, at overseas trips, and races!
