Tarmonator Triathlon
Tarmonbarry, Sunday 23rd June
Run by our local friends and rivals, Longford Tri Club, the Tarmonator Triathlon is always a popular race with our club members. The race starts from Tarmonbarry’s harbour with a handy swim in the Shannon, followed by a fast out-and-back flat and a looping run around the immediate locale. A good choice for anyone and so close, you could use the trip over as a warm up! They also have a Kidathon the evening before.
Two Provinces Triathlon
Lanesborough, Saturday 13th July
Our very own race, it should be top of the list for all new members. This is what our Zero2Tri programme is all about! The race is a sprint distance triathlon, starting with a 750km swim in the warm waters of Lough Ree. Next up is a 20km out and back closed-roads cycle followed by a 5km closed road run. There’s no better way to start your triathlon career.
