Showing
Their Stripes
They already have a focus on Women in Triathlon with
a women only wave in their Super Sprint Race, but this year they are taking
that one step further to show their stripes and support five female ambassadors
as part of their commitment to the 20x20 campaign.
Speaking about the initiative Brian Adcock, Race
Director said, “We think the 20x20 Campaign is fantastic and want to do
our bit to help increase the number of women taking part in triathlon in
Ireland.
We are seeking five female ambassadors from across
all levels of the sport as ambassadors, so whether this is your first year of
triathlon or you are a regular racer and maybe even a podium placer we want to
hear from you. We are delighted to show our stripes and support this
campaign to encourage more women to take up triathlon and race with us
regardless of ability or aspiration.”

Closing Date for application is 5pm on Friday 14th March
