July marked a significant milestone in Cork's sporting calendar—the very first Cork City Triathlon, proudly sponsored by Quintas Capital alongside All Real Nutrition. The event, held at the iconic Páirc Uí Chaoimh, was more than just a competition—it was a celebration of endurance, camaraderie, and community spirit. With an electric atmosphere surrounding the venue and participants eager to give it their all, this was one event we’ll remember for years to come.
A First for Cork: A Triathlon to Remember
The Cork City Triathlon brought together athletes from across the region, excited spectators, and dedicated sponsors, making for a memorable weekend. Páirc Uí Chaoimh, known for hosting sporting legends, was the perfect setting for this high-energy event. The buzz in the air was undeniable, as people of all ages came out to support and cheer for the athletes.
From the crack of dawn until the last participant crossed the finish line, the event was a true testament to the power of sport to bring people together. As a proud sponsor, Quintas Capital was thrilled to see so much enthusiasm, dedication, and resilience on display throughout the event.
