Dubbed by many as the most challenging Olympic-distance triathlon in Ireland, Blacksod Point Tri in Co Mayo is the final event in the National Series. The race starts with a 1,500m sea swim in Blacksod Bay and is followed by a 43km bike ride. The bike course includes a challenging climb up Tarmon Hill (the highest point on the peninsula) before travelling along a stretch up the spine of the peninsula to Belmullet Town. Finally the race finishes with a 10km all-terrain run across the dunes of Fal Mor. The Outsider crew took part in last year’s race and couldn’t recommend it more!
