Make a splash for CRY with TriAthlone -July 2010.
This year TriAthlone takes place on Thursday 1st to Sunday 4th July with two types of entries; triAthlone sprint and the triAthlone Try-a-Tri. The triAthlone sprint entails 750meter swim, a 20km bike ride and a 5km run. The triAthlone Try-a-Tri has a 200meter swim with a 20km bike ride and a 5km run for the participants.
The swim starts on the Connaught side of the River Shannon. The Athlone Boat Club will form the focal point of swim entry. This year the bike ride course sets off from inside the army barracks, and continues onto the Galway road. Finally, the most exciting part of the race is the run route, taking the participants through the narrow streets of Athlone town. This route will fabricate great atmosphere and enjoyment among the spectators and participants alike.
CRY are seeking volunteers to take part in the triAthlone and raise some vital funds for this great cause. If you are interested or would like more information please contact Lucia at [email protected] or call 01 452 5482.
This year Waterways Ireland TriAthlone will host the European Triathlon Championships, which will attract competitors from all over the continent. It is the first time that Ireland will host such an event and it will provide fantastic ambience throughout the town and event.
