The streets were lined with spectators for a challenging course that hugged both sides of the Foyle after setting off from the pontoon in front of the city’s civic buildings for the Europe Triathlon Cup Elite Female race.

Derry was awash with spirting excellence on Saturday as some of the best triathletes in the world descended on the city for the prestigious Europe Triathlon Cup, Derry’s first International triathlon in more than three decades.
