> Age groups and distances

 

Age Group	Age	Swim	Bike	Run
TriStar Start	8	50m	1.4k	600m
TriStar 1	9-10	150m	4k	1200m
TriStar 2	11-12	200m	6k	1800m
TriStar 3	13-14	300m	8k	2400m
Youth	15-16	400m	10k	3000m

Triathlon age groups are based on age at end of the year. e.g. If your 11th birthday is coming up this September then you'll race in the 11-12 age group, even though you'll only be 10 on the day of the race. This ensures that you race against the same people all year through.
