Following the success of last year’s debut Harwich Junior Triathlon, we are bringing it back, bigger than before. We have doubled the available entries, with 100 spaces for children aged 8-15 now available. We have also split the racing into three age categories.
Children Under 9: 50m pool swim, 1km cycle on grass and 600m run on grass.
Children Aged 9 - 12: 150m pool swim, 2km cycle on grass and a 1.2km run on grass.
Children Aged 13-15: 150m pool swim, 3km cycle on grass and a 2.4km run on grass.
The BTF age categorisation works based off the age of the child as of December of that year.
This means whatever the age of the child as of the end of 2025, this is the age category they will race in. This also allows 7-year-olds with a birthday between June and December 2025 to take part in the Under 9 category.
Medals will be awarded to all finishers, with prizes to the first male and female in each age category.
