WaldenJNR

Aged 17, 18 or 19 at the 31 December of the year race is held.

This is the last of the junior categories and members in this category train with Group C.

Juniors normally compete in sprint distance events alongside adults with the cycling often on public roads. Juniors can race in olympic distance events, but we don’t recommend it.

Juniors can compete in our Junior Club Championship and in the East Junior Series and in one off East Region Championship Races. On these pages the links tell you about each race and how and when to enter.

Talented Juniors should try to qualify be be a member of the East Regional Academy who meet throughout the year for more intense race specific training sessions. 

Juniors who are not quite at Super Series level, can qualify at specific races to compete for the Great Britain Age Group team at European or World Championships, however this can quickly become quite expensive.

  • Bike 20km
  • Run 5km
Olympic Triathlon
  • Swim 1500m
