Junior State Series 2019-2020

In 2019/20 Triathlon SA is running a Junior State Series. The series will consist of four individual races.

To be eligible to win the series, athletes must be members of Triathlon SA and must compete in two out of four races in the series. The athletes best three results out of the four races will count for their overall point score in the series

This series is for junior athletes and will also serve as a good introduction to this format of racing for those who wish to go on to race in Triathlon Australia’s National Junior Series races. Athletes in this race series have their age calculated as of 31 December 2020. This date conforms to the rest of the world.
