Carlow Triathlon Club are delighted to announce that we have been awarded Bronze status under Triathlon Irelands Evolve club standards program. The Evolve program aims to identify, develop, accredit and recognize high quality triathlon clubs and the contribution that they make to the development of sport in Ireland.
Founded in December 2018 by a group of enthusiastic athletes, and although still in its infancy Carlow Triathlon Club has come a long way in the 5 years and has developed into an inclusive supportive and fun club to be part of. It is growing from strength to strength year on year. We have members of all abilities from new to Tri to established athletes and Ironmen. We cater for all abilities and needs. Nobody is too fast and nobody is too slow . We support & guide individuals in the three disciplines – swimming (pool & open water) , cycling and running.
Based in Carlow town we have the advantage of having the River Barrow on our doorstep. Bagnalstown has proved to be an invaluable spot for our open water sessions as its ideal for both experienced and inexperienced open water swimmers with easy access and a variety of distances from 50m to 3.9 km. During the summer months there are also life-guards on duty which adds to the safety of the location.
We hold three club triathlons during the season from here too which are a great introduction for anyone who has not yet completed their first triathlon.
As a club we partake in the local Park Run on the first sat of the month. We have club cycles on a Sunday morning and have access to turbo sessions , strength & conditioning through Davfit fitness
Have you set a new goal for the new year …. do you want to aim for your first Triathlon or increase your distance if you have done one before. Carlow Triathlon Club is open for membership & looking for new members who like to train, push themselves, have a bit of craic, stay fit but most of all enjoy themselves.
You don’t need to be a super athlete to join us & levels and abilities are welcome.
Despite the last 2 challenging years we managed to train both individually and in groups as public health advice allowed and partake in a number of events from cycles, runs, swims, duathalons, triathlons and a few even managed to complete their first every 70.3. and Ironman distance! Lots of bling was accrued which made up for the disappointment of other events being cancelled. We look forward to the next season, and hopefully it will be an easier one for all with lots of goals being reached and some fun had along the way.
Our membership is now open for the 2023 season and if you are interested in becoming a member we would be delighted to welcome you. Click on the button below or email info@carlowtriathlonclub.ie if you have any queries.
