Lough Cutra Castle Triathlon

Organiser's Description

Arguably the finest castle in the series – Lough Cutra – provides a fitting backdrop for the curtain raiser of the Castle Triathlon Series. The races all kick off with an open-water swim in the lake. The bike routes circumnavigate Lough Cutra itself, with the half Iron distance 'Gauntlet' cycle also taking in the beautiful Burren National Park. A mixed terrain run out into the surrounding area of stunning South Galway to finish. The event includes a 'starter sprint' distance and children's races.

A swim only event provides the choice of three different distances: 5k, 2.5k, 1mile, and stunning, off road, spectator friendly estate loop runs offer 10k and half marathon distances. 25/26 May.
