Following the success of last years duathlon the 2013 Dingle Triathlon & Duathlon promises to be another exciting day of multi-sport racing on the peninsula. This year participants have a choice between duathlon or triathlon races, giving competitors a chance to compare times on a shared course.
Taking place on the 21st of September, the olympic distance triathlon is a Triathlon Ireland event. The race will see competitors, local, national and international share the waters with Fungie the dolphin for a 1500m swim leg in Dingle Harbour. This is followed by a 40km cycle on Slea Head and a 10k run on a loop west of the town.
The duathlon race, which replaces the swim section with a 5km run, kicks off half an hour after the triathlon. The 5km run takes competitors through Dingle town returning to transition at the marina before joining the tri-athletes on the rest of this spectacular course.
