TD & RACE REFEREE TRAINING
The sport of Triathlon in Ireland continues to rapidly grow and there is an increasing requirement for additional volunteers to help with the safe organising, sanctioning and running of races throughout the country.
As such, TI in conjunction with the Ulster, Connaught-Munster and Leinster branches, are holding a training day for Technical Delegates and Referees.

As all Clubs are required to supply a TD and Referee for each event they are holding this year, this is a golden opportunity to have your appointed members trained to a high standard by a dedicated training team.

Please see below for further information on the training dates, venues etc
