TriLaois 2026
The TriLaois triathlon, hosted by the Trilogy Triathlon Club, returns for its 16th year in Laois. This event features a pool-based swim held at the Portlaoise Leisure Centre. The competition is open to participants of various experience levels and serves as an opportunity for athletes to assess their winter training progress.
Participants can choose between two primary distances:
- Sprint Distance: 750m pool swim, 22.5km cycle, and 5km run.
- Tri-a-tri: 400m pool swim, 22.5km cycle, and 5km run.
The cycling portion follows an out-and-back route through the Laois countryside. The final leg consists of a flat 5km out-and-back run that concludes on the grounds of the Portlaoise Leisure Centre. Over 100 marshals, who are triathletes themselves, are stationed throughout the course to assist participants.
This is a Triathlon Ireland sanctioned event. All competitors must hold a valid Triathlon Ireland membership or purchase a one-day membership licence at least two days before the race. Relay teams require at least one member to hold a licence.
While there is no parking available directly on-site, several parking options are located nearby. Participants receive a goodie bag that includes a race t-shirt and a finishers medal. Post-race refreshments are provided at the finish area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
