Where are Wicklow Tri located?

We are located primarily in the North Wicklow / South Dublin area however, we have a number of members from the surrounding environs.

Where are the Training Sessions held?

Training sessions are generally held in a number of differrent locations as follows:-

Swimming: Coached swim sessions are held year round in Wicklow Pool, Wicklow Town and Shoreline Pool in Greystones.  Once the Sea Temperature begins to rise, we also hold coached swim sessions in Wicklow Harbour.

Cycling: Weekly spins depart from Ashford Church on Saturdays at 10am. We use a number of different cycle routes along the coast and through the Wicklow Countryside as well as using the mountains around the Wicklow & Sally Gaps for that extra sting in the tail!!!

Running: Long Slow Distance runs during the close season take place in a number of different locations such as Djouce Woods and Cliff Walk between Bray & Greystones. Coached run sessions take place from January to September in Shanganagh Park just north of Bray and Charlesland Athletics Track in Greystones.
