The Triathlon Ontario Junior Cup Series is an integral part of the Provincial Development Program. The objective of the series is to provide Junior athletes (aged 16-19) a draft legal competitive race environment within the province.
It is Triathlon Ontario’s philosophy that developing a strong provincial race series is imperative to developing a system that encourages increased participation, skill development, club growth and a higher level of investment in the sport. A series that encompasses draft legal events allows athletes to develop the experience needed to appreciate the complexities and competitive nature of this style of racing and prepare the athletes for further development in junior draft legal racing and beyond.
The Triathlon Ontario Junior Cup Series consists of a best three of four draft legal races. Athletes will receive points based on their placing in each race, with the overall series rankings determined by the athlete’s best three race results. Provincial Championships will count for more points. Athletes can compete in as many or as little of the events as they like and still be eligible for the standings if they are current members.
The male and female athletes with the highest point total at the end of the series will be the Series Champions, will be have their names engraved on the Junior Cup trophy and receive an individual award at the season ending Award Celebration.
