Triathlon in Athy
A member of Athy Triathlon Club in action
Athy is home to the TriAthy triathlon which boasts the fastest triathlon course in Ireland. Held annually on the June bank holiday weekend, the event attracts several thousand competitors from across the globe each year. In addition, the event is usually televised internationally and has attracted many celebrity sport stars in the past. Due to the speed, conditions and layout of the course, athletes from clubs across Leinster are seen training most evenings throughout the entire year in the disciplines of swimming, running and cycling.
