2021 Triathlon Calendar

Hi folks

I’m looking to do my first triathlon next year and have registered with TriAthy. However I’d like to do one or two Try a Tri events prior to that to get a feel for the whole thing. I’m struggling to find any info on anything for next year, for obvious reasons but there doesn’t seem to be any historical lists anywhere either that I could use as a reference to what may be on.

Anyone have any idea where or who hosts Triathlons in early May?

Calendar, at the best of times, doesn't come out until the end of the year.

My 2c is there won't be any races next year either.

Too early yet for full race calendar yet. I've posted a link to the major events which were transferred from 2020.
I know lough cutra have a few shorter options. Normally held on last weekend in May. Think 1 of them is a 400/20/5 race

Portlouise pool tri
Joey hannon pool tri
And carlow open water
And nenagh tri pool tri
Are the ones to look out for

While I don't quite share Tunney's sentiments I would agree that I would not bet my house on pool tris and races over 500 people next year in ireland

The major events calendar is out there. TI have asked clubs and race organisers to submit applications for more races to be added. I think there is a demand for races but as mentioned large races/events are going to be a problem. I reckon even 500 participants is being optimistic. We’ll see lots of smaller capacity races happening... hopefully.

To the original poster, there’ll be races in May before Athy (a big event), and duathlons in winter, jump in on the sprint distance events, it’s not as bad as you think :-)
