Welcome to Sligo Tri

We are an all-inclusive club, welcoming and supporting members of all ages and abilities.

We believe in building friendships and lasting bonds through a community of like-minded people, an aim which is fostered through events and activities including club duathlons and triathlons, annual ‘away’ Triathlons and regular social activities.

The club has an active Junior club and also runs a men’s initiative and women’s initiative.
