Just 10 days until Tri the Orchard 2026. Today, all participants should have recieved the race briefing via email. The race will follow the same scenic route of previous years. An amazing 750m swim in Loughgall park, a short run to a spacious transition before leavjng the park and cycling towards portadown and back. The cycle route is fast and rolling, the road is in good condition with a couple of minor potholes that will be clearly marked. Back into transition before getting those guddies on and hitting the 5k fast! The run will take you right around the lake before hitting one single decent hill taking you to the top of the golf course. Once the hill is over, let the horses out of the stable and make a bolt for the finish line with a great downhill section and long flat final 1km.

Sure its going to be just fantastic!
Happy training 🏆

Thanks to our neighbouring club NTC for again hosting a great event at Camlough Lake on Saturday. Both Peter and Barney gave it their all and had a great afternoon racing. Barney improving on the previous years performance and Peter finishing at the top end of his age category.

Slightly further afield, Marion, Lorraine, Benny and friends took to the hills of Donegal for a few hours of relaxed cycling in the sunshine... and rain.... and wind 😀

At the weekend the Pikekickers were out in force once again, travelling to one of the largest triathlon events on the Irish triathlon circuit in Athy. This festival of events has been a hot favourite from our club in recent years.

The day was celebrated by lots of special milestones and personal bests from all out ladies and gents. We had first time triathletes Lily and Benny take on the sprint distance in style with both finishing very strong with big smiles. Marion, our female triathlete of 2025 stepped up the pain threshold and took on the olympic distance. Both Stevie and Konrad faced the T100 distance testing their endurance abilities and coming out stronger than ever, Stevie once again showcasing his strength over distance and great practice for Konrad ahead of his upcoming Ironman.

Back to the Olympic distance we seen fantastic performances from everyone with Una, Joan, Decky, Gareth and Natasha all recording personal bests and Lorraine catching another age group 3rd place . Dominic, Brian, John, Barney, Peter and Dan all done themselves proud with strong and safe performances. Too many achievements to mention.

And lastly, the Posh & Becks of the Pikekickers Lorraine and Benny not only got AG podiums and completed their first triathlons, they celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary..... a bigger achievement than anything else, well done guys you are both an inspiration.

We had the official launch for the 🍎 Tri The Orchard Triathlon 🍎

It was a fantastic opportunity to thank all of our sponsors for their continued support in helping us run this race. Without our sponsors, events like this simply would not be possible.

A huge thank you to Armagh Credit Union for their very generous sponsorship. Always helping out clubs and organisations in local communitie.

We would also like to thank Velo Yelo Ltd for their sponsorship and support. They always make travelling to races abroad so much easier — a service Pikekickers regularly use and highly recommend.

We hope everyone loves this year’s race tops and medals… everyone enjoys a good race pack 😍

We are looking forward to welcoming everyone to Loughgall Country Park this June. Race Director Dominic Clarke and the race committee are working hard behind the scenes to make the event even better every year.
If anyone wants a great viewing point as a Marshall let us know 😉
