Important notes
Where there are specific qualification races, you cannot race in a qualifying event and then register your intent to compete. You must register by 5pm on the Friday before the qualifying event you are competing in.
For long distance events, cross and winter triathlon where there are no specific qualification events, you can register after completing the race but you must register before the specified closing date.
You can enter and compete in more than one qualification event but you only need to register once for each championship.
You can enter and qualify for multiple championships, although current ITU rules do not allow an athlete to take part in two events within a 48 hour period at the same Championships.
If a qualification event acts as a qualifier for more than one championship you must register for both championships. You will only be considered for selection in the events you have registered your intent for.
