• Description: The event starts on the outskirts of Kinsale with a 750m swim at the Dock Beach a nice sheltered strand within Kinsale harbour itself. After the swim and the short run to transition the competitors then set off on a 20K cycle along the Bandon River Estuary and through the Kinsale countryside with some small yet testing hills. After the turnaround the hills turn to your advantage and provide a quick return home. After the return to transition the best is yet to come as the runners are immediately faced with a 1Km steep climb.
  
  A tough endurance test at the best of times and the last thing you need after a 20Km bike sprint. The runners have the opportunity to recover as they descend this hill on the other side. The course then levels off as you race towards Sandycove beach for the turnaround. On the return leg the athletes are faced with the reverse and this gives a very fast finish as the line beckons at the bottom of the initial climb. Don’t miss the opportunity to test your mettle in this exciting event.
