The curtain closed on the 2025 Midland Aquathon Series with a spectacular finale in the scenic village of Crookedwood, hosted superbly by Midland Triathlon Club. Despite a gloomy start, the skies cleared just in time to illuminate a stunning evening of racing. Athletes took on a refreshing swim in Lough Derravaragh, followed by a challenging cross-country run, rolling hills, woodland trails, and even a few curious alpacas made for a truly memorable course! Our Longford Tri Club members once again turned out in force, giving it their all and proudly representing the club. Over five thrilling weeks, your commitment, teamwork, and passion led us to the top spot, securing first place overall in the series! ???? Longford Abú! But this victory is about more than just the results. It’s about showing up, supporting each other, embracing the sport, and living the values our club holds dear. Whether you're swimming, running, cycling, or simply stepping out of your comfort zone, you made this series unforgettable. And let’s not forget the legendary post-race treats! We’re so proud of every member who participated, from first-timers to experienced triathletes. Thank you for racing, cheering, scoring, and bringing the fun each week. ?? Special thanks to: Athlone Triathlon Club, Lanesboro Triathlon Club, Lough Key Triathlon Club and Midland Triathlon Club for hosting such fantastic events. A heartfelt thank you to those working behind the scenes; our coaches, marshals, volunteers, Longford Scuba Divers, Civil Service teams, An Garda Siochana, Royal Canal Run Longford, Longford AC, and Triathlon Ireland officials.
