Valentia Island Sprint Triathlon 2025

Saturday 27th September 2025


Event Details

Where else would you get a chance to swim from the mainland to a beautiful island followed by a cycle around the island with views of the Blaskets and the Skelligs. Then finish your race with a run towards the slate quarries overlooking Valentia lighthouse. The views here are literally breath-taking, almost enough to distract you from the effort.

Please note that the swim takes place across the channel between the mainland and the island in September and on a windy day can be quite a challenge. It is mandatory that you have open water experience before taking part in this race.

From 2024 we have decided to take the plunge and go green. We feel that it is vital to not take anymore from our environment and if possible to event give back to it. You will notice when you are entering that t-shirts are now optional at all races. We have cut back our basic entry fee to reflect this, if you choose the t-shirt this will be added. We have tried this option with medals but it proved more difficult than picking the lotto numbers so now all finishers will get a medal whether they want it or not. We also are doing away with single use plastics and will let you know in advance how water will be dispensed.
