Junior Triathlon Festival

Team Relay (draft legal)

Team Composition: Each team will consist of three (3) athletes, at least one (1) of which must be female. Athletes must be 13 to 19 years old as of December 31, 2010, to compete with a team.

If you are interested in competing, but don't have a team, contact Steve Kelley at steve.kelley@usatriathlon.org.

Race Distances and Format: The 1st athlete, which must be a female, to compete from each team completes the 250 meter swim, 7.5 kilometer draft-legal bike and 2 kilometer run course, then the 1st athlete tags the 2nd team member, who completes the same swim, bike and run course, then tags the 3rd team member, who completes the same swim, bike and run course and proceeds to the finish line. The total time for the team is from the start of the 1st team member to the finish of the 3rd. Time is continuous and does not stop between athletes. (Course distances subject to change.)

Race Briefing: A mandatory pre-race briefing will take place immediately following the briefing for the individual draft-legal championships (YE/JE) on Friday afternoon.

Competition Rules: International draft-legal rules apply, with modifications necessitated by this format.

Awards: The top three teams will earn championship medals.
