How is my Age Category determined?
- In accordance with the ITU rules, your age is deemed to be your age as at 31 December 2019.
- Here’s an example of how this works:
- Andrea turns 40 in July 2019.
- TriAthy 2019 is in June, before her 40th birthday.
- So even though Andrea will be 39 when she races in Athy, the rules state that she must race in the 40-44 category because her age will be 40 on 31 December 2019.
- Your Age category will be automatically generated when you enter!
