British Triathlon Senior Super Series
The Senior Super Series returns in 2020 having been reintroduced to the calendar in 2019. By offering these elite races, British Triathlon is committing to help U23 and Senior athletes within the British Triathlon pathway continue in their growth and competitive development. The Senior Super Series is tailored to provide athletes beyond the Junior age category with high quality events to enter, supporting top Junior athletes transition into Senior racing.
