Athlete Sponsorship

It is with great pleasure that I announce the launch of the Piranha Athlete Sponsorship Programme which will be given to the top 3 male and top 3 female athletes, based on their results in the National Series.

I hope that all club members will have noticed an improvement in the quantity and quality of training being offered by the club in the past few years. We have spent quite a considerable amount of time and effort setting up the proper structures within the club and I believe that we are all benefiting from this. It is from this base that we wish to push on and have more Piranha athletes challenging for podium positions in races.

 

Following on from the success of club members in 2010, Piranha won the Club Championship awards in the Women and Mixed categories. The Club Championship is awarded on the cumulative points of the top 6 athletes from the club.

 

The Athlete Sponsorship programme is an effort to build on this success and to recognise the achievements of many athletes who had a very good racing season.

 

The awarding of the sponsorship will be based on the following criteria:

1-     The top 3 male and top 3 female athletes will be chosen based on the final position in the National Series

2-     Members must have raced for Piranha, to ensure that the club gets the benefit when it comes to the Club Championship award

 

Details on the 2011 National Series can be found here-

 

Prize money for the successful athletes will be as follows-

^1st -€300

2^nd -€200

3^rd -€100

We are working to have one of the triathlon shops come on board to offer a further discount to athletes and this will be announced in due course.

 

It is hoped that this programme will push Piranha Triathlon club onto bigger and better things over the next few years.
