Lough Ree Monster Triathlon 2026
The Lough Ree Monster Triathlon is staged by Athlone Triathlon Club at Coosan Point in Athlone in early September 2026. The event combines open-water swimming, road cycling and a road run in a multi-discipline race format.
Two race categories are offered to provide options for different experience levels:
- Sprint: 750 m swim, 18 km cycle, 5 km run
- Try A Tri: 250 m swim, 18 km cycle, 5 km run
Both categories share the same cycling and running distances. The event structure separates the swim, cycle and run segments and follows the usual triathlon sequence of swim then cycle then run. Athlone Triathlon Club organizes the event at a lakeside venue, and the layout uses local roads and paths for cycling and running. The entry options accommodate participants who wish to race over the longer swim distance and those preferring a shorter introductory swim while completing the same bike and run stages.
Information about registration groups and timing services was noted as part of the event organisation. The description above reflects the event format, location and distances as provided for the 2026 edition. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
