Looking for a spectacular finish to the 2007 season and Loughrea looks like the one!   But I can't find any details on the race.

Can someone give me more details with links etc?

The event will go live for entries next week.
There will be more details to follow also next week.
Keep checking.

Thanks Dan

Will registration be at the lake, or at a place in the town?

Registration will be held in the training center which is situated about 200 meters from car park at the lake. It will be sign posted.

That's great. It's great not having to think about that sort of thing on the day.

Thanks!

No problem you are welcome, thanks Dan..... big foot

Congrats on a super event to all those who concived, organised and ran this event. Its great to see the wonderful facility that is the lake in Loughrea used as a centerpiece in an event like this. This was my second ever Triathlon (way better experience than my first) and I'm already looking forward to next year, Might even brave the full olympic distance
