Hi Everyone,

For those of you that don’t already those there will be an open race as part of The European Duathlon Championships in Limerick on the 15th- 17th of April.

Everyone is welcome to take part and whether it’s your first time or you are a seasoned cyclist/runner and we would be encouraging as many people as possible to take part.

It’s a 3km run/20km cycle/ 3km run and it can be done as a relay with your friends. . The course starts and finished in O' Callaghan Strand in Limerick and it will be run on closed roads around the city.

This will be a unique event as part of the European Championships and the opportunity to see the best of Limerick. There will be goodie bags, finishers T-Shirt and medal for everyone that enters as well a prizes for the top three in their categories
