History

3D Triathlon was created on the high seas in 2001.

The founders, returning from the Windsor Triathlon, wanted to establish a club on the north side of Dublin to provide a counter-weight to the existing ones elsewhere in the City.

The objective was to create a club to welcome triathletes of all levels, from beginners to elites.

The philosophy was to provide top quality coaching and structured training sessions to appeal to a cross-section of abilities.

These are the values that continue to drive our club today. 3D quickly grew to become one of the biggest clubs in the country, attracting 70 members in the first year.
