You might have seen across our channels that on Monday 13 July we launched our new guidance for events to operate in a Covid-19 Secure manner. This means that permitted events that meet the agreed requirements can resume across England from 25 July. On the back of this announcement, British Triathlon are launching a series of Intelligent Race Days (IRD) to support our entire pathway.Format of the days.

Each IRD will provide a number of racing opportunities. At all times, athletes will take part in the required ‘socially distanced group of one’ in a time trial format to meet Covid-19 Secure requirements.

For each race, all athletes will be in one ‘wave’ and must:

• Start 20 seconds apart in an individual rolling start
• Keep the mandatory minimum distances behind (swim: 2m; bike: 10m; run: 2m) at all times unless overtaking.

Athletes will be ordered in each wave in a way to minimise the chance of overtaking.
