FAQ
Q: What are the World Triathlon Championship?
A: World Triathlon (TRI) is the international governing body for triathlon and related multi-sport disciplines (i.e. long distance, duathlon, aquathlon, aquabike and cross triathlon). Every year, TRI organizes World Championship events for elite and age group athletes. Race venues move around the world from year-to-year.. To participate in the World Triathlon Championships, each athlete must qualify through their national qualification process. It is the responsibility of the National Federations to register athletes for the World Championships.
Q: Are there races for age groupers other than the World Triathlon Championships?
A: World Triathlon aims to provide opportunities for competition and sport development from the grassroots–level to the elite-level at all their events. This is a unique aspect of triathlon, where you can see athletes of all ages and abilities competing at the same venue. The events are meant to be inspiring and motivating. As such, almost all TRI races have an open tier for age groupers that Canadian athletes can enter. Check out http://www.triathlon.org/ for events and the event-specific websites for more information.

Charity Entry Program
What is the Charity Entry Program?
The charity entry program provides a way for athletes to join Age Group Team Canada and compete in World Championship events around the world. The Age Group World Championship Team is primarily selected via a qualification-only model. This means that athletes must race at designated qualification events across the country and place within a qualification spot or roll-down spot in order to secure a place on the team.
The Charity Entry Program consists of a limited number of spots made available for purchase that also include a fundraising component to give back to the sport of triathlon in Canada. Availability of spots is confirmed after the qualification season based on available space in each discipline, gender and age category. The Charity Entry Program is the ONLY mechanism to join Age Group Team Canada without qualification.
For more information and eligibility requirements for the Charity Entry Program, click here.
To express your interest in applying for a Charity Entry Spot, email Community Programs Manager, Ella Calder ()
