The Age-Group European Championships are organised by the European Triathlon Union (ETU). The Age-Group World Championships are organised by World Triathlon

You can enter and compete in more than one qualification race per World Triathlon or ETU championship event but you only need to register once for that World Triathlon / ETU championship.
 
You can qualify for multiple Championships, although current World Triathlon rules do not allow an athlete to take part in two events within a 24 hour period at the same Championships so if you are successful in qualifying for two Championships that will be held within 24 hours of each other you will be asked to withdraw from one. Sprint and Standard are classed as separate Championships.
 
If a qualification race acts as a qualifier for more than one Championship you must register your intent for both Championships if you intend to qualify for both. You will only be considered for selection in the Championships you have registered your intent for. 
 

If you are registerig your intent to qualify for Aquathlon, Aquabike, Cross Triathlon and Duathlon, Sprint and Standard Duathlon, Middle or Long Triathlon and Middle or Long Duathlon, you need to register your intent to qualify by adding race evidence. One stipulation of the race evidence you need to submit is that the results must be split into 5 years age categories. This is to align the results with current ETU and World Triathlon events and is also to compare your performance to those in your age group. You may use age groups other than those in 5 year bands however you should 1) check this is ok with the Team Manager; 2) the results should be freely avaliable on-line.

An athlete who finishes outside of the outlined qualification criteria will not be eligible for qualification regardless of spaces available. 

National Federations can enter a maximum of 20 athletes per age-group into an international Championship.

Age-Group Championships follow the World Triathlon Competition rules which can be found here. The ETU also have a separate Age-Group section which can be found here.  British Triathlon rules can ber found here.

The rolldown place allocations normally start a few weeks after last quailficaiton date or, after the date which pre-qualified competitors from the current season have to register their intent to qualify. There is no need to contact the Team Manager or Age Group Coordinator to ask when these will begin. We understand competitors need to make plans for the forthcoming season and we will endeavour to begin the rolldowns as soon as possible.

You can find out how to register your intent via our “how to qualify” page which outlines the process step by step.
