All set for the Salmon Run Triathlon in Mayo

The TELUS International Liquid Motion Salmon Run Triathlon will take place in Ballina on Saturday, July 27, with registration open today.

This is the third consecutive year that TELUS International will sponsor the event in partnership with Liquid Motion. This year, they also welcome a new partner, Mayo Mental Health Association.

Speaking about the event, Enda Cunnane, vice-president of operations at TELUS International AI Data Solutions, said: “It is an honour to be sponsoring this fantastic community event for the third consecutive year. The annual Salmon Run is something we now look forward to each summer here in TELUS International. We are thrilled that Mayo Mental Health is also coming onboard this year.”

Mark Reynolds, chairman, Liquid Motion Triathlon Club, added: “The Salmon Run Triathlon is our flagship event here and we welcome TELUS International AI Data Solutions’ sponsorship for the third year. With their involvement, 2024 is shaping up to be another great year.”

Also commenting in the lead-up to the event, Pádraig O'Hora, Mayo Mental Health Association community liaison officer and Ballina Stephenites and Mayo footballer, commented: “I always say that if you’re not feeling yourself, talk to someone. Anyone. Twist off the lid and release.

"The Salmon Run Triathlon is the perfect opportunity for someone to take the first step to utilise swimming as that release. The sprint triathlon is a perfect race for beginners and non-beginners due to its scenic flat course.”
