Year in Review 2026: Paratriathlon National Championships
As part of our 2026 Year in Review series, we’re celebrating the athletes and events that made this season special. Next up, the Triathlon Ireland Paratriathlon National Championships, held at Tri The Lough in Loughmacrory, Co. Tyrone on 1st August.
National Titles awarded at Tri the Lough
Organised by Omagh Triathlon Club, the event welcomed paratriathletes across multiple PTS categories to compete for national titles against the beautiful backdrop of Loughmacrory.
Athletes tackled a sprint-distance course featuring a 750m swim in the lough, a 20km bike on rolling roads and a 5km run along a flat woodland route.
With fantastic support from Omagh Triathlon Club volunteers, the Championships brought together experienced competitors and athletes experiencing championship racing for the first time.
