Kilkee training weekend
Plans have been finalised for our annual Kilkee training weekend, May 31st/ June 1st 2104.
Led by our Club Head Coach Lynne Algar, the weekend will be of interest and benefit to anyone participating in HOTW itself, but will also be a valuable training for all members in the run into the season. All abilities will be catered for.
As well as Bike sessions, we will be incorporating The Pink Balloon run in aid of Action Breast Cancer, and the traditional swim across the Bay.
