The Series

The series consists of three events on the 3rd Oct, 7th Nov and 5th Dec 2010.

Each event offers a challenge by increasing in distance. Although the emphasis of the series is on participation and fun we recognise 1st – 3rd place getters in each category and age group in both Triathlon and Duathlon if you enter all three as a series.

You need to enter the series by Mon 27th Sept 2010 and participate in the same category for all three events. At the conclusion of each event points will be allocated to you depending on your finishing position in both category and overall place. These points will be collated at the final event and the first three place getters in each age group will be recognised with medals.

In addition, the first three overall place getters of both Triathlon and Duathlon will be awarded event trophies. In the event of a tie of any place, the deciding factor will be the higher place in the final event. Teams must retain the same members for all three events to be eligible for series points.
