Looking for Accommodation?

We have had a couple of enquiries regarding weekend accommodation in Portlaoise for the Junior Aquathon. There is a page listing all accommodation on the race's sister site (Portlaoise Try-athlon) - including contact details, websites and distance to the pool (we are using the same pool for both events).

Which Age Group Am I?

In relation to some queries received here at junioraquathon.ie, age groups on race day are decided by the age you turn during this year. So if you were born, in say, August 1996, you might be 12 years old on race day, but you will be racing in the 13-15 age group category as you will turn 13 during 2009.

9-12 Birthday Between 1 January 1997 to 31 December 2000
13-15 Birthday Between 1 January 1994 to 31 December 1996
16-17 Birthday Between 1 January 1992 to 31 December 1993
18-19 Birthday Between 1 January 1990 to 31 December 1991

Great News - National Championships

Trilogy's Junior Championships on 13 June have been selected by Triathlon Ireland as the 2009 Junior Championships. As well as being a huge honour for the club, it is also a great opportunity for juniors across Ireland to race against each other in an all-Ireland age-group championship race.

Championships or not - our race is still more about participation than it is about winning - so enter online for just €5.00 today and come June you can say you took part in an all-Ireland final. Remember to enter the race, if you are under 18, you will need a parent / guardian to fill out the form and use their credit card to pay.
