Tramore Duathlon - February 26th

rubs

Hi all,

The Tramore Duathlon is taking place on Saturday 26th of February on the Promenade in Tramore. This event is possibly the largrest Duathlon in the country with excess of 250 competitors year on year.

As always the profits for this event go to a local charity and this year it will be no different. Down Syndrome Ireland will be this years recipients.

This is not a Tri Ireland Event and as such the dreaded One Day Licence is not required. The entry fee of €20 covers your insurance, excellent goodie bag and much more...

To find out all the details just log on to www.transitionsevents.com

Yours in sport;)

Hi Rubs with such a large field of athletes will there be a large prize fund ? age groups etc.?

rubs

Yeah, there will be prizes for 1,2,3 male/female...1st vet, 1st junior, 1st relay team

The reason there is not an extensive array of prizes is basically because,

a.) The entry fee is €20 and for this each competitor gets a t-shirt, drinks bottle, energy gels, insurance, race number etc... which is quite good and amounts to a real value of over €20 ...so in some ways everyone gets a prize:)

and

b.) it is a charity event and all profits will go to the desiginated charity. In the last 3 years we have raised in excess of 20k for local charities and community/sports groups.

Hope that answers your query

Glad you enjoyed it...we were blessed with the weather:rolleyes:

..apologies about t-shirt but we had a bit of grief with the suppliers and they couldn`t make the deadline so as a consolation we put in the High 5 race packs which were quite substantial for a Duathlon...over €20`s worth of produce as well as the drinks bottle.

Results will be on the website very soon...slight tech difficulty which won`t be resolved untill after the weekend...pics will be up on our Facebook page here;
