Athletes racing in the Olympic Distance Race will battle it out across the 1.5km swim in the flat calm waters of the privately owned Lough at the Castle, cycle 40k through the Burren before finishing with a 10k off-road run around the stunning grounds of the privately owned Castle estate.  Crossing the line to the backdrop of the commanding castle, there is a €1,000 prize purse on offer in addition to NS points so it is definitely one to consider for 2019.

The National Mixed Relay Championships returns to Lough Cutra for the third year in a row, this format of racing pits four athletes from one club against other clubs in a super fast and all out relay race as they each take on a 200m swim, 5km cycle and 1.5km run.
