Trilogy Triathlon Club are hosting the TriLaois Sprint and Tri-a-Tri race on Saturday April 1st, 2023.  This event, now in its 12th year, is well known as a beginner’s triathlon and a great start to the triathlon season. It is run by a very experienced team of triathletes who love the sport.

TriLaois is a pool based triathlon run from Portlaoise Leisure Centre.
 
Suitable for first timers as well as seasoned triathletes, athletes can choose a Try-a-Tri option of 400m swim or full Sprint distance 750m swim. Cyclists then head out on a 19.5km fully marshalled loop around Laois countryside before completing a flat out and back 5km run finishing in the grounds of Portlaoise Leisure Centre where athletes can refuel with post race refreshments.
 
This popular event is always a sell out so enter early to avoid disappointment.
 
Sprint Distance:    750m Pool Swim, 22.5km Cycle & 5km Run.
Tri-a-tri:    400m Pool Swim, 22.5km Cycle & 5km Run.

TriLaois - What is it all about?​
The swim is a pool based swim in which competitors must complete either 30 lengths (Sprint) or 16 Lengths ( Tri-a-Tri) of the 25 metre pool in the Portlaoise Leisure Centre.

The event is open to all, but has been particularly designed for anyone racing their first event - either as a team or as individuals. The short-distance, pool-based swim makes an ideal dry run for longer events outdoors later in the new season, and will help anyone preparing for outdoor events later in the Summer. Both the bike course and the run course are on quiet roads and will be well marshalled by an experienced crew of Race Marshals who will guide and direct you through the course with your safety as their primary concern.

The event is normally the the first Triathlon Ireland competitive event of the season and being situated in Laois the organisers hope the central location makes the event accessible to all. The race is organised by Trilogy Triathlon Club and this is  the 11th year.
