YOUTH NATIONAL SERIES
Encouraging and Supporting Our Youth
For the first time ever, teenage athletes will get the chance to compete against one another in a season-long competition, with the introduction of a new exciting race series, supported by Costcutter.
The series has a focus on fun and participation providing the athletes with a safe and inclusive environment to make life-long memories with both old and new friends.
This racing experience is designed to provide a platform for everyone to stay involved in triathlon for many years to come.
The Youth series will be run alongside our existing senior event to provide that big-race experience.
We are proud and delighted that Mallow based Barry Group under their Costcutter brand, are the sponsors of the Youth National Series. It is wonderful to have their support in promoting and raising the profile of our sport.
