3/03/2021 COVID-19: Return to Triathlon Update
While Level 5 restrictions remain in place in the Republic of Ireland until 5 April and ongoing restrictions remain in Northern Ireland, please see below an update for triathlon training and events.
We know that the last number of months have been particularly challenging, with our community being unable to train together and social coffee spins missing from our members’ daily lives. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the triathlon community has rallied around one another. The community has been incredibly supportive, innovative and creative in staying connected and virtually training. Please continue this hard work, and continue to adhere to Government Guidelines until we can safely return to triathlon.
Republic of Ireland
Following the release of COVID-19 Resilience and Recovery 2021: The Path Ahead by the Government, Triathlon Ireland has the following update.
Club Training & Events
In line with current Government Guidelines, we have extended the date for suspension of club training and events to the 5th of April. Once the Government provides further information on the path forward for our wider society, Triathlon Ireland will be in a position to update Return to Sport plans. We will provide an update over the coming weeks as regards how to proceed after that time.
We are working with the Sport Ireland Return to Sport Group on the Return to Sport Guidelines for Triathlon, this will shape how our events will look this summer and the safety protocols in place.
Northern Ireland
The restrictions in Northern Ireland remain in place until the first of April with a review on the 18th of March.
In line with these restrictions, club training and events cannot currently take place. We are liaising with the Sport NI Return to Sport team to provide an update over the coming weeks.
How to Contact Us
We will be in touch with our members and clubs with an update for our sport following the next update in early April.
As always, our staff are available to answer your queries, please get in touch via the ‘Chat’ function on triathlonireland.com or via our Staff Directory.
Stay Safe
