The date for the Portumna Triathlon has been postponed until next year. Currently, there are only 40 competitors signed up with 4 weeks to go. This time last year there were the double. It would not be viable to run this event this year. I want to put on the best event possible and with these numbers I don’t think that this would make for a very competitive race.
We took the decision to postpone the event as and hope the extra time will hopefully encourage more people to sign up and will also give me more time to organise a safer and more enjoyable race.
Distances : 750m swim, 20km cycle, and 5km run

How will you know who has purchased an ODL?
We will email each race organiser a list of ODLs purchased through Triathlon Ireland, immediately after the option to purchase ODLs for your race closes. This list will show the names of all the competitors who have purchased an ODL and next to each name there will be an ODL number. So at registration, competitors will either show either:
-A Full/Student/Junior TI membership card or A confirmation slip showing their ODL number or to be listed on the list we send you
