Two schools in Letterkenny yesterday joined together to take part in a Tri Heroes Triathlon.
Errigal College and St Bernadette’s School combined for a Tri Heroes Triathlon and it was the first time that two schools joined forces in the series.
Tri-Heroes helps schools and teachers introduce and deliver triathlon activities to pupils whilst supporting the needs of the school to deliver the necessary Physical Education progression for all pupils.
Tri Heroes brings together the activities of swimming, cycling and running to inspire, motivate and challenge children.
The programme is fun, varied, challenging and suitable for all pupils whether as part of the curriculum or after school activity.
Danny Ryan, a former Irish middleweight boxing champion who recently medalled at the World Indoor Rowing Championships, presented the certificates and trophies.
