Competition Rules
The below Competition Rules dated January 2023 are the current version.
These Competition Rules govern the behaviour of competitors during competition, and the specifications for equipment used during competition. All competitors taking part in events that have received their appropriate Home Nation Association Event Permit should familiarise themselves with these rules, in order to comply fully and avoid incurring a penalty for infraction.
Any competitor taking part in international competition, such as World Triathlon and Europe Triathlon Age Group Championships should familiarise themselves with the World Triathlon Competition Rules.
Regular participants are also advised to download and review the rules, to ensure they are up to date with any changes.
