Gortnor Abbey Triathlon

Gortnor Abbey Secondary School in Crossmolina in Co. Mayo is getting ready for their second annual Triathlon which takes place on Saturday May 18th. The event takes place in and around the school's grounds, on the beautiful shores of Lough Conn. It is an inter-schools event that is open to adults also. Everyone from experienced triathletes and budding novices to Mums, Dads and grand-parents are encouraged to come and try it out. There are shorter lengths and combi events for every type of athlete! It's a lovely way to spend a Saturday in May where spectators can soak up the fun atmosphere too. We hope that it brings our communities together in a fun and healthy way. For more information please go to www.gornorabbey.ie . We wish the whole school community every success on the day. Go Gortnor Abbey!
