Thank you for considering to join our club.  Here at Kenmare Tri Club you can choose to dabble in the sport by focusing on one sport as part of a relay team or you can decide to train for your first  triathlon.  We focus on having fun, meeting up on a regular basis and doing as much or as little training as you wish.

So if getting out in the fresh air or water, feeling healthier, coupled with some excitement along with like minded people sounds good then read on to see what the benefits of joining our club can do for you.

• Scheduled training sessions such as cycle turbo training, weekly group runs, twice weekly open water swimming sessions with changing facilities and hot showers ( April – Sep)& weekly group cycles.
• Subsidised professional coaching sessions in all three disciplines.
• Access to club equipment (eg. cycle turbo trainers )
