TriStar 1

Aged 9 or 10 at the 31 December of the year race is held.

This is the second youngest age group and is based on age at the end of the year. TriStar 1's belong to Group 1 of our Saturday morning training groups.

Races are usually held on school playing fields on grass. Open water races are rare and if cycling on tarmac it will be on roads with traffic. Because of the short distances, quick transitions are very important.

TriStar 1's can compete in our Club Championship and in the Eastern Region Children' League and there is asummary of all races on our East Region Race Calendar. On these pages the links tell you about each race and how and when to enter.
