WHAT IS TRIATHLON?

Triathlon is a multi-discipline sport consisting of swimming, cycling and running, and is a great sport to keep active. Plus, by taking on the three disciplines, you can keep training fun and varied too!

 

Welsh Junior Race Series

Race in individual races, compete for a Welsh Junior Race Series title or try to qualify to represent Wales at the British Inter-Regional Championship.  The individual league is open to those from the age of 9 and 19 years of age (as at 31 December 2024).  Every race is open to all levels of ability no matter what your background and is a fun way to enter the sport of Triathlon.  You can also enter as many or as few races as you like.

 

Athletes can begin their journey at the age of 8 in the TriStar Start category and continue competing until they are over 80 years old, if they wish!

Here's a list of the category names and ages for TriStar to help you understand the lingo.

  • TriStar Start - Age 8
  • TriStar 1 - Ages 9-10
  • TriStar 2 - Ages 11-12
  • TriStar 3 - Ages 13-14
