Piranha and Belpark Triathlon Clubs are pleased to announce the inaugural ‘Inter-Club TT Series’
This is a series of 5 TT training events held on open roads over three venues in the months of April and May to prepare participants ahed of the forth-coming triathlon season.
The series will be open to 30 club members from each of the two clubs (max of 60 in total for health and safety reasons). There will be an entry fee of €2 per event in order to help off-set the cost of St John’s ambulance with the two clubs picking up the remaining cost equally between them.
The success of this series is predicated on the participation of club members as cyclists but also as volunteer marshals (8 or 9 for each event). With that in mind anyone who wishes to participate in any of the events must also be prepared to marshal in at least one of the events.
Participants will give two dates on which they are prepared to marshal noting a preference for one and the organisers will seek to satisfy the preferences on a best endeavour basis
April 14th venue N11 – Start line Southbound on-ramp of N11 at Kilmacanogue to junction 11, then along R774 to Kiilcoole Roundabout back to Kilmacanogue – Distance 23km
