Less than 6 weeks to go until the town of Westport again welcomes some neoprened triathletes for the Pulse Westport Triathlon 2011. Entries are open and Pulse Triathlon has plans well under way for a fun day of racing and activities in Westport.
The race itself features some of the most picturesque areas in Westport with a 750m swim in the harbour, 22.5km cycle along the coast road of Clew Bay passing the foot of majestic Croagh Patrick and is topped off with a fabulous 5k run through Westport House grounds.
“Gracie’s Bar” at Westport House will also be the venue for the prize giving and hospitality post race and is a great opportunity to make a full family day out of the event by following up with a visit to the historic Westport House and its Adventure Park.
