Porter said: “The Lisburn City Triathlon is the epitome of endurance and is one of many high profile events that the Council is extremely honoured to host year on year.
“I have great respect for all entrants who literally push themselves to the limit and go that extra mile completing what is acknowledged as one of the most demanding events in the world of sport.
“I hope people will be inspired to put on their swimmers, jump on a bike, pull on their trainers and run with us this July.”
