Olympic distance consists of a 1500m swim from the former prison island of Spike to Cobh on the great island, a 40km relatively flat, fast and technical cycle, followed by a flat scenic run on the waterfront. This is a one of kind race in this part of the country – where else do you get to “jailbreak” from a former prison island across the worlds second largest natural harbour. The spectator support in this race is second to none, with the start and finish of the race centered in the town itself. We have received great feedback from both established and up and coming triathletes. Registration is open for the event and is available on both Triathlon Ireland and Sports Timings web pages. This is a TI sanctioned event so if you do not hold a TI card you will have to purchase a one day licence from Triathlon Ireland.Updates will be available on Cobh Tri web page and also on Facebook. ————————————————————————————-
