The blue flag beach for the swim has been secured.

The road closures through scenic Connemara for the cycle have been set in motion.

The run through Spiddal village has been marked out.

The after-party is being finalized.

There will be both a Sprint distance (750m swim, 20km cycle, 5km run) and Olympic distance (1.5km swim, 40km cycle, 10km run).

There’s 50 early-bird entries so sign up now to save money in 2011.
