Triathlon Ireland invites aspiring triathletes aged between 5 and 15 years old to experience the thrill of multisport competition at the City of Derry Triathlon. Designed with inclusivity in mind, this event offers young participants a safe and supportive environment where they can develop their swimming, cycling, and running skills.
Participants will enjoy an age-appropriate course that caters to different levels of ability within each age group.

Finally, runners will complete an engaging run course that winds through scenic city streets and parks.
The event features comprehensive support services including race marshals, medical staff, hydration stations, and a dedicated transition area where athletes can practice efficient gear changes. Parents and supporters are encouraged to cheer from designated viewing points along the route, creating an energetic atmosphere for young competitors.
This triathlon is more than just a competition; it's about fostering teamwork, sportsmanship, and personal achievement among youth in Northern Ireland’s vibrant Derry City.
