Ballymun is getting its very first triathlon event this summer.
On July 2, hundreds of north Dublin locals will swim, cycle and run together as part of an event that will generate a dose of positive community spirit in the area.
Ger Prendergast, one of the founding members of the Ballymun Health and Fitness Festival and Ballymun Triathlon Club, spoke to Dublin Live about the triathlon and why its important to host health and fitness events in Ballymun.
