It's that time of year again. Are you up to the challenge?
Brian Boru Tri Challenge Saturday August 31st
Now open for entries, Ireland’s toughest Sprint Triathlon and our equally challenging Standard Distance Triathlon are back for the 5th successive year.
Sprint Distance: 750m Swim / 22 km Cycle / 7 km Run
Standard Distance: 1500m Swim / 40km Cycle / 10 km Run
Gratefully sponsored by Europcar, this year’s Brian Boru Tri Races will once again be hosted by Ennis Tri Club and our Killaloe based race organising committee. The proceeds from this year’s race will benefit the Killaloe Community Sports Centre.
Transition is located in Two Mile Gate on the beautiful shores of Lough Derg about 2 kilometres from Killaloe. Both the 750m and the 1500m Swim courses will once again start from the lakeshore in Two Mile Gate and exit via the slipway. The cycle route will once again challenge the best climbers with a lung busting climb up the Ballyloughnane Road followed by a technical descent into Tuamgraney and culminating in a dramatic undulating lake view cycle back to transition. The run course continues to show no mercy, with an extremely steep uphill climb through Ballycuggaran Woods which is rewarded with a spectacular mountain top trail run with fabulous elevated views of Lough Derg followed by a classic off road descent through the woods and back onto the Ballycuggaran Road for the final sprint descent to the finish at Two Mile Gate.
Water stations are available on the run course and all athletes will receive refreshments at the finish line and after the race.
Post Race Shower facilities are also available courtesy of the UL Activity Centre which is adjacent to transition.
Both parking and toilet facilities are available at Two Mile Gate.
We look forward to welcoming to Killaloe and Irelands Toughest Tri Challenge.
Registration:
Registration will take place in Two Mile Gate on Friday 30th August from 6pm to 9pm. There will be limited registration on Saturday morning August 31st from 8.30 to 9.30am.
