USA Triathlon has announced its full calendar of Regional Championships for 2019, ‘an action-packed slate of multisport events for age-group, youth and paratriathletes across USA Triathlon’s six regions.’
Regional Championships for the discipline of Olympic-distance triathlon offer athletes an opportunity to qualify for the Toyota USA Triathlon Olympic-Distance Age Group National Championships. The top 35% or top five finishers per age group (whichever is greater) earn the opportunity to go to Nationals — in comparison to a standard USA Triathlon Sanctioned Event, in which only the top 15% in each age group qualify.
All Olympic-distance Regional Championships occurring before August 2, 2019, will qualify top finishers for the 2019 Toyota USA Triathlon Olympic-Distance Age Group National Championships, set for August 10 in Cleveland.
All Regional Championships occurring between July 1 and August 2, 2019, will qualify athletes for both the 2019 and 2020 edition, while all races occurring after August 2 will qualify athletes for the 2020 edition. The date and location of the 2020 Toyota USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships are to be determined.
Regional Championships will also be held for the disciplines of sprint-distance triathlon, duathlon and multisport (may include long-course triathlon, aquathlon and/or aquabike), as well as for youth athletes and paratriathletes.
