Age group categories

Triathlon Events:

Age group categories relate to age on 31 December of that participating year. Age group prizes for the first placed finisher, male and female will be awarded at each race. The categories will be as follows:

• Veteran: 40-49 yrs
• Super Veteran: 50-59 yrs
• Ultra Veteran:60+ yrs

With the exception of the Festival of Endurance, prizes will be awarded in 5 year age-groups, for BTF competitors racing in the Middle Distance Champs.

If you win in the Open Category as well as your age group, you will receive one prize and the prize you forfeited goes to the next placed finisher in your age group.

 (Please note: Age group prizes are not awarded for the Starter Sprint.)

Castle Swim Series and Castle Run Series Events:

Prizes will be awarded to the overall 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed male and female.

Series prizes

In doing so there will be a 1st place winner in both male and female in all triathlon race distances (Adults and Child/Junior).

The actual place finish in the race, equals the number of points allocated (e.g. finish 3rd and you get 3 points). The series winner will be calculated by adding a competitor’s three (3) best races in terms of points scored (having discarded a race or races if they have competed in four or five races).

The person with the least number of points will be the winner. In the event that competitors are tied on points there will be a count back of results.

The winner will be decided by the triathlete with the most first place finishes.  If still tied, it will then be the athlete with the most second place finishes etc.
