The TriGrandPrix Triathlon Kilkenny took place on Saturday 23rd July 2011. The City looked its best as the competitors swam the river Nore through the city centre, ran in the Castle Park and river side walks, and cycled from the Castle Park into the fertile countryside as far as Bennettsbridge to the south of the City and back. The City Centre was crowded with visitors, the Cafes were full and the sun shone.
