Junior
Race DistancesThe distances for each Juniors event
are based upon the age groupings
specfied by the British Triathlon Federation. These
distances are designed to challenge triathletes but to be approriate to
the capabilities for the age of the competitors. As with all
Triathlons, the physical aspects of the facilities available may result
in some minor variations in course distances. However, the
majority of Children's events are held within a controlled environment
with a closed circuit for both the bike and run segment of the event. The
standard distances by age
group are detailed below. These are the maximum distance by age
group and the distances vary especially for the younger age groups: Triathlon (Swim/Bike/Run)
