Dear Athletes and Coaches, Triathlon Canada is pleased to announce that we are currently accepting applications from athletes wishing to compete in the elite division at both the ITU Duathlon and ITU Long Distance Triathlon World Championships.
Long Distance Triathlon World Championships - July 29th in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain.
Duathlon World Championships - September 22nd-23rd in Nancy, France.
Due to time constraints, athletes wishing to apply and be included in Triathlon Canada’s reservation block at the World Championships accommodations must fill out the attached application form and race resume and return to raceentries@triathloncanada.com by Monday February 13th.
Athletes applying after this date, may not be able to be included in Triathlon Canada’s reservation block. We will still be accepting applications for the team until Sunday April 1st. However you may be responsible for finding your own accommodations at your race destination if our reservation block has been filled.
All athletes must be current members of a Provincial Triathlon Organization before applying. A maximum of 6 athletes per gender can be chosen for the team, however Triathlon Canada is under no obligation to fill all the quota spots. Athletes will be granted a spot on the team based on the strength of their application.
Athletes will be responsible for all costs associated with the event, but will be eligible for a ‘Bonus Pool’ which rewards athletes based on their result in the World Championships race. Each discipline will have a separate bonus pool:
Bonus Pool:
Eligible athletes include all Canadians entered in the Elite Wave of the ITU World Championships Race
a. The bonus pool is to a maximum of $2,000 per year
b. Eligible athletes must finish within 5% of the World Champions time to qualify and must finish in the top 10 of their respective race.
c. Men and Women competing in the same discipline at the World Championships share the same Bonus Pool based on the closest performance (based on percentage) to the World Champion.
i. $1,000 for the closest
ii. $600 for the second closest
iii. $400 for the third closest
Athletes whose applications are accepted will need to register as a team member on Triathlon Canada’s website. More information will be provided to you if your application is accepted. If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.
