🚨 LOUGHREA TRIATHLON 2027 - RACE DIRECTOR REQUIRED 🚨

As we look ahead to Loughrea Triathlon 2027, we are seeking a new Race Director to lead the organisation of our club’s flagship event.

✅ Full support and guidance will be provided to help the successful volunteer transition into the role.

✅ To ensure a smooth handover to a new Race Director, it is proposed that the 2027 event will be an adults-only race.

✅ A new Race Director must be in place by the end of October, as race bid applications with Triathlon Ireland will soon close.

Interested? Curious about what’s involved? No obligation, just have a chat!

📩 Contact Tomas for more information @predatorchairperson@gmail.com

Your support is vital to ensuring the continued success of one of the club’s most important events.

Help keep Loughrea Triathlon thriving! 💙

✨Athletes Shine Under the Lights: Predator Triathlon Club Supports Croí Charity Run ✨

On Friday, October 9th, members of the Predator Triathlon Club laced up their running shoes to support a vital cause, taking part in a special night-time charity run for @croiheartstroke Charity.

The event, hosted under the floodlights at the Craughwell AC grounds, saw over 50 determined athletes brave challenging, windy conditions to show their support. Despite the blustery weather, spirits remained exceptionally high as participants completed their laps under the lights, all driven by the shared goal of raising awareness and funds for heart and stroke families.

Predator Triathlon Club extended its gratitude to Craughwell AC for providing their fantastic facilities, and to all the volunteers and athletes who turned out in force. It was a powerful community effort for a deeply worthy cause, proving once again that local sports clubs are always ready to go the extra mile for those in need!
