Eireman X Mountain Bike Triathlon & NEW Duathlon
15 months ago
This year’s Eireman X takes place on Saturday October 1st in Courtown Co. Wexford with lower entry feeds, an additional race format and finger food for racers afterwards.
In addition to the triathlon there will be a duathlon (run – bike – run) so non-swimmers can take part. There will be a 2km woodland run instead of the swim to begin the race. This is a separate event with it’s own prizes. Both race leaders should enter the transition area at the same time which will shake things up for the mtb section. The course is the same as last year – with one surprise on the run.
Thanks to new insurance arrangements no day-licences (or Tri-Ireland memberships) are required. Entry for the triathlon is €40 and the duathlon €35. Entry is limited to 200 riders and is filling up fast.
As the event is on a Saturday there will be an opportunity for riders to meet for a few drinks afterwards. The prizegiving will be in the 19th Pub in Courtown with finger-food laid on.
Check out the Youtube video for a flavour. The film crew didn’t make it to the technical mtb sections but we’re assured there are plenty of them.

Summer XC Development Series
1
Kippure Estate invites you to join their Development Summer Series Mountain Bike Races to be held over the next few months on the estate.
The races are open to beginners and intermediate racers of all ages.
Entrance fee will be €10 (€5 for a one day race licence and €5 to cover costs) and any additional money raised will be used towards developing such things as a skills course and bike wash facility at Kippure to enable them to better host events for clubs in the future.
After the success for the XC Championships in 2008 and K-Capital Challenge Race Series final stage in 2009, Kippure Estate has entered into talks with Coillte, Wicklow County Tourism and Wicklow Rural Partnership to develop permanent mountain bike trails in the Athdown woods opposite the entrance to the estate. Coillte are very open to the idea and in conjunction with all parties a feasibility study is to be commissioned to look into the routes available, costing, etc.

As everyone is riding the same course we are leaving out ‘The ROCK’ but We’ve found something else as spectacular
We are going to run the Underage on a Mini Challenge Course, one loop, starting just after the start of the other categories.
We are having a Top 10 prize list for the 10 fastest riders overall and awards for the various categories, and the series then for the categories also.
Entry fees:
All Senior Cats €20
Juniors €15
Underage €5
**We are not running a two day event as previously planned, that idea went a bit pear shaped this year, So the Event is Sunday only. There is No pre-riding on Saturday 25th July, but you can see the course early on Sunday Morning, we will be open for sign on at 9.30, Sign on will close at 11.30am
Thanks Robin
