Countdown to Brian Boru Triathlon

Located in the twin towns of Killaloe and Ballina, Boru Tri Club are hosting a Triathlon and Try-a Tri on Saturday, June 7.

There will be a sprint triathlon for the more seasoned triathlete consisting of a 750m swim in Lough Derg, a 24km cycle followed by a 5km run.

There is also a Try-a-Tri, which is a great fun event for those who just want to see how enjoyable a triathlon can be, or those who want a shorter course. The Try-a-Tri has a 250m swim, a 12km cycle followed by a 5km run.

Relay teams are allowed in both the sprint triathlon and Try-a-Tri. It is a great opportunity to get a sporting team of friends together and take part in this event together.

The course is a swim at Twomilegate, followed by a cycle that hugs the shore of Lough Derg to Tuamgraney and back, then a run back towards the town of Killaloe turning near the ruins of King Brian Boru’s fort and back to the finish at Twomilegate.

Entries are still available for individual and relay team entries in both events.

The entry fee is - €55 for and individual and €70 for a relay team.
