Some points to highlight from the organisers:

4. We are offering an exclusive extension until 30 April of the existing 25% discount for Tri Clubs in 2018, some of whom have approached us about making the race their Club Championships and we are actively encouraging more of you to join us.
5. Spectators are welcome and FREE, there is also camping, live music, a trade village, a climbing wall, kids inflatable, yoga, Irish dancing and more.
6. Freebies. To further encourage new triathletes into the sport we are offering a FREE entry into the Adults Starter Tri race to any triathlon club that brings five or more paying competitors to the event.
7. Trading places. For any triathlon club member who volunteers as a marshal on one day we will give a free entry into their race the following day - see www.castletriathlonseries.co.uk/take-part/volunteers/#SignUpNow for terms and conditions and sign up.

For those members who want to use the event as a training brick or for members who have friends or relatives who may be runners or swimmers, we are putting on a Swim Only event (5K, 2.5K and 1 mile) on the Saturday and an off-road Half Marathon on the Sunday Morning. We will also extend the trip club discount of 25% until the end of April 2018 for these races.
