Guinness Fun Triathlon 2024

The weather gods shone on us this year as we completed our 24th Annual Guinness Triathlon on Saturday last in glorious sunshine and blue skies.

41 dedicated Triathletes showed up with smiling faces and determination to compete. Showing their support were some first time triathletes, many long time stalwarts and a host of other competitors who travelled from many parts of the country to take part. Many of those travelling were family and friends of our late colleague John O’Mahony in whose memory the winning trophies are named.

With last years Winning Female and Winning Team unable to participate this year – the only title holder from last year participating was Cathal Boland – question was could he retain his title?

Well the answer is Yes he could… and he did.

Congratulations to the ever smiling Cathal Boland on retaining the men’s title for the 2nd year in a row.

Congratulations to Jennie Dignan, another former winner of the event (and long time supporter) on taking the ladies title this year.

Congratulations to Shane Henry and his two sons, Conor and Niall who claimed the team title. Shane participated as an individual many times and we were delighted that he made it a real family affair this year.

Thanks to ALL our amazing competitors for both their generosity of spirit and generosity in fundraising for the Children’s Health Foundation and to Emma Callinan in the Children’s Health Foundation who have been our charity partners since the beginning.
