Children’s Triathlon and Youth Triathlon
Children and Youth triathlon races have been held by the club in Loughrea since 2008. It is one of the largest junior triathlon in Ireland and one of the reasons is the very picturesque location of the event. Loughrea Lake boasts a Blue Flag beach with great amenities. The swim is in a crystal clear area with a large beach.
Juniors come from all over the country to take part but the course is not an easy one (the cycle has a nice hill half way through the race!). The event begins at 10:15am and includes five different age group races for juniors ranging in age from 7 to 17. Swim distances vary from 100 to 500 metres, the cycle from 2 to 10 kilometres and the run from 400m to 2.5km. The entire route is held on closed roads.
