The British Triathlon Youth and Junior Super Series provides athletes with valuable race-based development opportunities through high-quality competition against the best in their age group.
Consisting of seven events throughout the year, the series plays a key role in the development of these athletes, giving them the chance to build on the coaching and support they receive through their Regional Academies and Home Nation Squads.
Regular, high-quality events give the athletes the best opportunity to develop their racing tactics and experiences, with these events designed to align with athlete training objectives.
The first event of the series is the British Triathlon Performance Assessment Weekend on 4-5 April 2020 at Loughborough University. All athletes wishing to be part of the series will need to apply for a space at the weekend, with selected athletes going forwards to the weekend for the chance to earn the first ranking points of the series.
Applications for the Performance Assessment Weekend can be made here.
New to the series in 2020 is the introduction of aquathlons, helping to develop the swim and run skills of the athletes. All athletes will need to compete in one of the aquathlons to be eligible for the overall series title.
There will be two events, the Aquathlon North at Lochore, Scotland and Aquathlon South at Bowood House, England to help make them as accessible as possible, with athletes entering one depending on their location.
Athletes will earn ranking points throughout the season, with their best three results counting towards the overall series title.
The British Triathlon Season Finale at Mallory Park will be there final event of the series, seeing the overall series winners crowned on the Saturday, before the Accenture Youth & Junior Mixed Relay takes place on the Sunday.
