There are three races in the series, with athletes’ top two finishes counting for points towards the Triathlon Ontario Elite/U23 Cup Series title. Nationals will be scored via finishing positions counting against fellow Ontario Elite/U23 athletes, Toronto and Provincials will be scored against the entire Elite/U23 field regardless of province if out of province athletes compete in those two races.
