Dear Castle Tri fans,
Happy tri season! We’ve got off to a really strong start with record numbers attending our first event of the season at Lough Cutra Castle, where we hosted a hat-trick of Triathlon Ireland qualifier races and welcomed over 2,000 runners, swimmers and triathletes. Once again the atmosphere was outstanding, and underlines why Triathlon Ireland has chosen this event as part of their Major Events programme. You can see for yourself in this short video.
The events are going to come thick and fast now for our team, and we’re raring to go for the next event as we head to Cheshire and the Cholmondeley Castle Triathlon later this month (23/24 June). We hope to see many of you there for what should be another excellent event.
If you’re competing in any of our events, do check out the latest training tips, offers and event news below. You can never be too prepared.
All the best,
Brian Adcock
Race Director, The Castle Triathlon Series
