Para-Triathlon National Championships Return to Loughmacrory
Triathlon Ireland is delighted to confirm that the 2025 Para-Triathlon National Championships will take place at Tri the Lough, hosted by Omagh Triathlon Club in Loughmacrory, Co. Tyrone.
A Welcoming and Scenic Venue
Loughmacrory has long been regarded as one of Ireland’s most scenic local triathlon venues. Set against a peaceful lakeside backdrop and supported by a dedicated club team, the venue provides an ideal setting for both seasoned triathletes and those just starting their triathlon journey.
The course is based around the lough and surrounding roads, offering:
A calm, clean swim in the lough
A bike course on quiet local roads
A run on a flat, spectator-friendly loop
