About Mallow Tri Club
Mallow Tri Club is a new and growing club in Mallow Co. Cork. Our club was formed in 2016 when a few avid runners, cyclists and swimmers who often found themselves bumping into each other at Tri events decided it was time to train together; consequently Mallow Tri Club was born.
We’ve successfully run a Duathlon around Mallow town in our first month and 1 year later we ran an Aquathlon Series set in the scenic Ballyhass lakes. In 2020, 2021 2022 , 2023 2024 and 2025 we organised and successfully ran our first sprint distance triathlon, which has been part of Triathlon Ireland National Series.
We have a steady membership each year since we formed, and each year we recruit a few new members. At present we have over 100 members. Our training schedule is strengthening year on year.
We’re always looking for leaders who have the courage to put themselves out there to help others in the sport. We’re all volunteers, we all started out through a love of fitness and activity and we’re all in this together to make our club a welcoming club for all levels.
“If you set a goal for yourself and are able to achieve it, you have won your race. Your goal can be to come first, to improve your performance, or just to finish the race; it’s up to you” (Dave Scott, 6 time ironman world champion).

The Committee(s)
In addition to the main club committee we require our members to step in to form the race committee. This committee is formed in March when race organisation begins and disbands when wrapped up.
Members are expected to help marshal at least one of the club events. If a member wants to race all club events, a substitute marshal must be provided in his/her place.
There are a number of smaller roles as well, timing for the weekly TTs, leading beginner cycles, ordering club gear, etc.

We hold our AGM in November in The Arches Bar & Restaurant Mallow.
