WaldenJNR Racing Age Groups and Race Distances TriStart
TriStart
Aged 8 (at 31 Dec 2013)
This is the youngest age group at which children can take part in a triathlon and is based on age at the end of the year. Children in this race category belong to Group S of our Saturday morning training groups.
Races are usually held on school playing fields on grass. Open water races are rare and if cycling on tarmac it will be on roads without traffic. Because of the very short distances, quick transitions are very important.
The standard race distances set out in the BTF rulebook for this age group are:
Triathlon
- Swim 50m (pool) 50m to 100m (open water)
- Bike 800m (grass) 1.5km (tarmac)
- Run 600m
Duathlon
- Run 400m
- Bike 800m (grass) 1.5km (tarmac)
- Run 200m
Aquathon
