A Triathlon Ireland (TI) race license is required to take part and a valid TI membership card will need to be presented at registration. Alternatively a One Day Membership (ODM) may be purchased in advance via the TI website for a fee of €20.

Only one member of a relay team is required to have a TI or One Day License.

Your 2025 TI membership card must include a photo. One Day Membership (ODM) can be purchased from the TI website: https://www.triathlonireland.com/get-involved/one-day-membership/.

You will not race without presenting your TI card or ODM proof of purchase.

If you hold an International Racing License your license may be used at Triathlon Ireland sanctioning events, providing the organisation you are a valid member of is affiliated with the ITU. If you do not have your physical membership card at registration, along with a valid form of identification you will not be allowed to race as you will not be covered by insurance unless you purchase a ODM.
