Triathlon in the Commonwealth Games

Triathlon made its Commonwealth Games debut in 2002 at the Manchester Games and returned to the sport programme at Glasgow 2014, having not featured at the Delhi 2010 Games. It has since been elevated to a core sport and is included for 2018 along with Paratriathlon, now an optional discipline, which made its debut in Gold Coast.

Triathlon races are held according to the rules of World Triathlon.

In the Commonwealth Games Triathlon competition there are five medal events consisting of: Individual Women, Individual Men, Paratriathlon PTWC Women, Paratriathlon PTWC Men and the Mixed Team Relay.

Each nation is allowed to enter a maximum of three men and three women for the Individual events, from which it then selects two men and two women to combine for the Mixed Team Relay. Each nation is allowed to enter a maximum of two men and two women into the Paratriathlon competition.
