Standout Performances For Manx Triathletes

Members of the Manx Tri Club delivered a series of standout performances across major triathlon events over the weekend, claiming age-group victories, top-10 finishes, and personal milestones.

At the Outlaw Middle Distance Triathlon, toxic algae forced organizers to cancel the swim segment, converting the race into a run-bike-run duathlon that kicked off with an initial 2.7-mile run.

Carly Craig produced an outstanding performance to claim 1st place in her age group, finishing top out of 34 women. Clubmate Colette Kerruish also delivered a strong performance in the same field, finishing 7th out of 34 in her age group.

Grueling Course

In the Outlaw Full Distance event, which was similarly modified to a duathlon due to the swim cancellation, John Halligan demonstrated remarkable endurance. Tackling the full-distance race, he completed the grueling course in 11:11:00 to secure 17th place in his age group (40–44).

Meanwhile, in London, Neil Kelly represented the club at the prestigious London T100 100km Triathlon. Crossing the line in an impressive 4:16:54, Neil earned a superb 7th place finish out of 117 competitors in his age group (N45–49).


The Manx Tri Club extends its congratulations to all four athletes for representing the club with distinction across the weekend.
