The regional series is open to athletes between the ages of 8 & 16 (age as of December 31st 2020)
East Junior Series 2020
In response to the current guidance being issued by British Triathlon that no events should take place until the 30th April 2020. The regional committee has decided to cancel the East Region Race Junior Series for 2020.
We have not taken this decision lightly but in the light of the rapidly changing situation, we feel it is essential. Based on the government’s advice to restrict unnecessary travel and contact with others, we feel that it is our duty to take these steps to help protect the health and wellbeing of athletes, officials, coaches, volunteers and spectators and to alleviate the risk of an additional burden on the emergency services at a hugely testing time.

At this time no decision has been made about the IRC qualification events or the IRC event itself. We will await further guidance from British Triathlon before any decision on these are made

How are points calculated?
The East Junior Race Series is governed by the East Triathlon Regional Committee. All races are sanctioned by British Triathlon and therefore competitors and spectators must abide by the rules of the British Triathlon.
Points are calculated based on the winning time with the winner receiving 1000 points. Subsequent results are calculated by dividing the winning time by the recorded time for all other athletes and multiplying the result by 1000 (eg winner in 18mins gets 1000pts, 2nd place finishes in 18 minutes 36. 18 mins divided by 18mins 36 * 1000 = 968 and therefore the 2nd place finisher would would receive 968 points for that race).
If a race is cancelled or is deemed not to have met the level of quality that we require from a race then the committee have the right to amend the number of points scored by the winner and the number of qualifying races to count in the series.
IRC Qualification
Each year a squad of 3 boys and 3 girls from Tristar 2 & Tristar 3 are selected to represent the East in the Inter Regional Championships. This selection is based on their performances in specific qualifying races.
Full details of the IRC process, together with the date and venue of the IRC's themselves can be found on the IRC selection page.
