The Tribesman Triathlon returns for 2026 and will take place on Sunday, June 15.
Part of the Triathlon Ireland National Series for 2026, the Tribesman Triathlon will bring athletes from across the nation to Galway for one of the key events in the Irish triathlon calendar. The race will also host the Intervarsity National Championship, giving eligible student athletes the opportunity to compete for national intervarsity titles.
The race start, transition and finish will be based on the grounds of the University of Galway. Participants will begin with a 750m swim in the River Corrib, one of Europe’s shortest and fastest flowing rivers. This year’s swim route includes a short 150m upstream section before athletes turn and make use of the famous Corrib flow.
The bike course remains a fast and flat 22km route towards Moycullen on the N59, including the Moycullen bypass, before athletes return to the University of Galway. Competitors will then take on a brand new 5km run course through Dangan and along the River Corrib, creating a fresh finish to one of the west of Ireland’s most popular sprint triathlons.
Race Director, Padraic Benson said that the event has become a "real highlight" for the local triathlon community.
"With National Series status and the Intervarsity National Championship taking place alongside the main race, we expect a strong field and some brilliant racing on June 14th.
"The University of Galway gives us a fantastic race venue, and the combination of the River Corrib swim, the fast Moycullen bike course and the new Dangan run route should make for a superb race," he added.
Limited entries remain for the Tribesman Triathlon and participants are encouraged to secure their place sooner than later.
