Welcome to the sign-up page for the 2023 East Essex Kids Triathlon, hosted by East Essex Triathlon Club.

This triathlon consists of a pool swim followed by a cycle and a run on flat grass courses (distances according to age as indicated in the table below) and forms part of the East Junior Race Series.

The race is open to beginners as well as experienced competitors.  

Please be as accurate as possible with your estimated swim time to ensure a clear swim for yourself and others.

If you find in training that you are swimming significantly quicker or slower than your estimated time (e.g., by more or less than 10 seconds) or If any of your personal details  needs to change before the closure date of 14th May, 2023, then please either log into your Entry Central account (if you are an account holder), or contact the event organiser at: kidstri@east-essex-tri-club.co.uk

The time you give should be for the distance that you will swim on the day as shown in the table above.

Entry fee: £28 or £27 for those who are members of Triathlon England.

Withdrawals will be accepted up to 14th May, 2023 and entry fee refunded minus a £5 admin charge.

Competitors are politely reminded that it is a direct infringement of British Triathlon competition rules to use any device to mark their position in transition. This includes excessive application of Talcum Powder in and around the competitors transition area. This and any other device or marker will be removed by the duty official where possible.

If this is not possible a statutory 2 minute penalty will be applied.

A short trophy presentation will take place once all the competitors have finished the race and we have been able to compile the provisional results. Trophies will be forwarded on if you are unable to stay for the prize giving. Whilst we will award the trophies after the race, there may be challenges to those results which we will investigate before finalising the results, on this website, within 7 days. 

Provisinal Results will be available online later the same day.

Only people who are female sex at birth are eligible to compete in the Female category. All other individuals including transgender people are eligible to compete in the Open category. Responses to this question will enable event organisers to allocate competitors into the correct race category as required under the British Triathlon Transgender Policy effective 1 January 2023. This policy can be read here and provides more information regarding race categories and eligibility.

Further information and any important updates will be shown at the Event Website
