After two unforgettable years back in action, the Tribesman Triathlon returns to Galway on Sunday, June 14th, 2026!

The 2025 event was a huge success — hundreds of athletes took on the challenge with determination, smiles, and serious speed. From a river swim in the heart of Galway to a fast bike course and scenic run, the atmosphere was electric, and we’re already looking ahead to making 2026 even better.

Whether you’re chasing a PB, trying your first triathlon, or just soaking up the incredible race-day vibes - Tribesman is the race you won’t want to miss.

Tribesman Sprint Triathlon

Get ready to dive into one of Ireland’s most iconic sprint-distance triathlons.

• Swim: A downstream 750m blast through the stunning River Corrib — one of Europe’s fastest-flowing rivers, offering a fast and exhilarating start to your race.
• Bike: A flat, fast, out-and-back course along the Moycullen bypass, perfect for hitting top speed.
• Run: Finish strong through the grounds of the University of Galway and along the banks of the River Corrib — a beautiful and inspiring route to the finish line.

Aquabike National Championships

The Aquabike category (swim + bike) will once again run alongside the sprint triathlon. This is a great option for those recovering from injury, building confidence, or just not keen on the run. You’ll still be part of the full race-day buzz, right through to the finish gantry.

We're also proud to continue supporting junior racing, with a dedicated Junior (16–18 years) Aquabike category available as part of the 2026 event.
