The Swim
The swim starts on the Connaught side of the River Shannon, at the Athlone Boat Club. The spectacular Inland & Coastal Marina Systems Pontoon will form the focal point of swim entry. For the Sprint Distance race, athletes will swim 350m down from the pontoon and then back up stream exiting the water onto the back of the pontoon. Olympic Distance athletes will complete the same route as the sprint distance event but will swim further upstream before turning back down river to exit onto the pontoon.

The Bike
The course this year will be held on fully closed roads. The course sets off from Transition area inside the army barracks on Grace Road, and continues outo the galway road. Olympic distance athletes will turn at 20km and come back in on the same route, while the sprint distance athletes will turn at the 10km point on the same course.

The Run
Our most exciting part of the race is our run route. The narrow town centre streets of Old-Athlone's "West-Bank" plays host to the event once again. Athletes will exit the army barracks onto grace road where they will complete two laps (sprint) and four laps (olympic) of the course. The first lap starts when you get to the finish line.

Athletes run past Athlone's historical Castle, down and back up Grace Road along the banks of the River Shannon, before crossing into Leinster and onto Church Street where the Finish, Recuperation and Baggage-Drop area is at the Civic Centre Plaza in the shadow of the stunning new Athlone Town Centre. This route will create a fantastic atmosphere as spectators will see athletes a total of 3 times every lap.
