Getting Started

Welcome to Slowtwitch

Your hub for triathlon, gravel, running, and endurance sports. Here’s everything you need to know to get the most out of the site, the forums, and the community.

01
Explore Slowtwitch.com

Sometimes referred to as “the front page,” Slowtwitch.com is where you’ll find all of the content that our team of editors, writers, and contributors produce. Just type slowtwitch.com into your browser.

Our home page leads with the latest content. Below that, stories are organized by category. Click any category label to dive deeper — and bookmark your favorites.
Categories include Triathlon, Cycling, Running, Swimming, Gravel, Industry, and more. Each one is bookmarkable so you can jump straight to what you care about.
02
Slowtwitch+

Slowtwitch+ is our premium subscriber service, which unlocks all of our content — longest-form articles, interviews, additional product reviews, and more.

ST+
Slowtwitch+ articles are identified by a ST+ label. Find them under the ST+ logo in the banner by hovering and clicking “Premium Articles.”

Signing up is simple. Choose “Get Slowtwitch+”, select monthly or annual, and sign in using your Forum account — that’s your key to unlock everything.

03
The Slowtwitch Forums

The Slowtwitch Forum is where the community comes together to share information, opinions, and connect with one another. Think of it like a digital expo, except back when event expos actually had a bunch of vendors and interesting things to do.

Signing Up
Navigate to forum.slowtwitch.com and click Sign Up. That’s it — you’re in. Your username also unlocks Slowtwitch+ if you subscribe.

Flagging Content

Sometimes posts don’t belong in the right category, or someone is being antagonistic. Although we have a deep team of moderators, we don’t see every single post. That’s where content flags come in.

Click the three dots at the bottom of any post, then click the flag icon. Choose the reason — off-topic, inappropriate, or something else — and our moderators will review it.
06
Customize Your Experience

The Slowtwitch Forums offer a high degree of customization. To access settings, click your profile picture in the upper right corner, then click the person icon to open Preferences.

Your Profile
Update your profile picture, email address, and account details under the Account tab in preferences.
Enable a Signature
Click Profile, scroll to the bottom, and check the box to enable signatures. Your signature appears below every post you make.
Display Settings
Want Dark Mode? Click Interface and choose your color palette. You can also set your default home page and other display options here.
Ignore or Mute a User
Ignore hides all posts, DMs, and chats from a user. Mute suppresses notifications but still shows their posts. Manage both under the Users tab.
Curate Your Categories
Under the Tracking tab, you can watch, track, or mute any category. Get notified about everything in Triathlon, or mute categories you don’t follow.
