Danny Quigley Fund 'Try-a-Tri' Triathlon proves huge hit - PHOTO SPECIAL
The Bogside & Brandywell Health Forum’s Danny Quigley Fund ‘Try-a-Tri’ triathlon proved a huge success at Templemore Sports Complex on Sunday morning.
Specifically designed for those wishing to experience a triathlon for the first time, the event saw competitors swim, cycle and run a reduced distance to that of a full triathlon on what was still a challenging course for beginners. Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Colr. Sandra Duffy, was on hand alongside Danny to see off scores of athletes on the first wave of swimmers.
