New Racing Opportunities in September (Juniors too)

I know that some people are keen to find a couple of races to keep them going through August and into September. Well a brand new series of small races might just be the answer. Called the '25.5 Series', each leg involves a 500m swim, 20km cycle and 5km run. They take place each Saturday in September (except for 13th) and on 4th of October in a different town - Ballinasloe, Athleague, Portunmna and Roscommon.

These races might be perfect for any of the senior members wanting to race a couple more times in 2008, or for Junior members wanting to "tri" a full race this season. Under 16's can register on the day, anyone over this age need to register in advance (and places are limited to 250).

PS these guys also seem to be planning an Ironman Distance race in Connemara for 2009!
