Following another great success and fabulous feedback in 2018, we will be retaining the same format of youth and junior heats in the morning and finals in the afternoon.In between all this action will be the open water races for TS1, TS2 and TS3 athletes racing for valuable points in the regional Grand Prix.

Hetton lends itself to some super fast short races with spectacular viewing for supporters and spectators alike: being able to see all of the swim, run and most of the bike loops! The climax of the day will be the exciting four-athlete tag team relay races for Youth & Junior teams (1 youth female, 1 youth male, 1 junior female, 1 junior male) and TriStars 2 & TriStars 3 teams (1 TS2 male, 1 TS2 female, 1 TS3 male, 1 TS3 female) will take place.

Athletes wishing to race up a category in the relay will require parental/coach approval prior to entry and will be eligible for prizes. Those teams with athletes racing down or not following the format above of two male/two female will be allowed to race but not eligible for prizes
