Gear Restrictions

British Triathlon guidance on gear restrictions for young athletes.

Gear restrictions are now an established part of Youth and Children’s draft legal racing.

ALL Youth races this season WILL be gear restricted – this INCLUDES when Youth A and Youth B athletes are racing each other.

For the full rationale on why we restrict gears and how this works at events please refer to the British Triathlon Gear Restrictions booklet.
