WELCOME TO GALWAY TRIATHLON CLUB

Galway Triathlon Club was proudly founded in 2004, and over the past two decades has become one of Ireland’s most vibrant, inclusive, and respected multisport clubs. Based in Galway City and serving members across Galway County and beyond, the club welcomes everyone—from total beginners to seasoned athletes competing on national and international stages.

We support participation in triathlon, duathlon, aquathlon, aquabike, swimming, cycling, and running. Whether your goal is completing your first sprint triathlon or chasing a new PB at middle or long distance, Galway Tri offers the expert coaching, structured training, and friendly community to help you get there.
