Specific Race Result criteria:

  • Races should be the equivalent of a Long Distance or Middle-Distance Triathlon with the swim in open water, the bike on tarmac and the run predominantly on paths.
  • Long Distance results with a finishing percentage of 110% or less will be considered before Middle Distance results. Long Distance results with a percentage of 111% to 115% will be considered alongside middle-distance results. 
  • Results must have a finishing time which is within 115% of the winner of their age group. If an athlete is moving up an age group in 2024, they should use the time from the winner of the age group they are moving into.

  • Results must have 200 finishers confirmed by the results, including DNF, DNS, DQ.

  • Please Note: If you are moving up an age group in the championship year, then your qualification will be based on where your finishing time would have placed you in the age-group category you will be racing for in the year you do the qualifying race.  Please see point 8.3 in the Terms and Conditions.

Further details regarding pre-qualification can be found within the pre-qualification policy

Allocation of Places

  • There are 20 places in each age group. Some of these places may be pre-filled by athletes who Pre-Qualify from the previous year’s Championships.
  • Places are allocated after registration cut off dates in order of fastest result to slowest result. This may take 3 weeks.
  • After the final registration date, the remaining places will be allocated and if any athletes then withdraw the remaining place will be allocated by rolldown places. 
  • Qualified athletes will be notified by e-mail and will be marked with a 'Q' next to their name in the registered athletes list. This can take up to 3 weeks after the qualifying race. Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and Q are all qualifying statuses. 
  • It is an athlete's responsibility to check they have registered for the correct event and that their name appears in the list of athletes on the event webpage. (If your name is not there, please check the next age group)
  • If you use a Hotmail, outlook or work email address please check your junk mail, we find these email addresses often send our emails to the junk mail inbox. We advise athletes not to use these types of email addresses and we can't re-issue a Q if an athlete has missed the opportunity to take up their place because they missed an email.

*If Q4 is used in the qualifying process

To confirm your place in the team, athletes need to pay the £25.50 International Race fee by 26/04/2024. If you miss this deadline, you will be withdrawn from the team and your place will be offered to someone waiting in a rolldown position.

For the first time athletes must enter this event directly through the World Triathlon website. Once you have paid your IRF we will send you the link to pay your race entry for the race, this will not be sent to you straight away and will sent out once we have this from World Triathlon.
