Markel Castle Triathlon Series - Lough Cutra

This date marks the beginning of the Markel Castle Triathlon Series 2012 and plays host to our finest and newest castle – Lough Cutra. This first race sets the scene for a competitive and fun series, hosted within the beautiful grounds and surrounding area of stunning rural Galway.

All races at Lough Cutra Castle start by launching into an open water swim in the iridescent lake, transitioning into the technical cycle circumnavigating Lough Cutra Lake in a 20KM loop. There will be one cycle lap for the Sprint and two laps for both the Mid and Olympic distances. Similarly, the run passes through the stunning estate grounds and deer park and has one lap for the Sprint and two laps for the Mid-Distance and Olympic races. The race culminates with a sprint through the grand stables and down the main drive to the finish in front of Lough Cutra Castle itself!
