2024 Derby Junior Triathlon Results

This year’s event will take place on Sunday the 6th of July 2025 at Allestree Woodlands School, Blenhiem Drive Derby DE22 2LW.

All levels and abilities are encouraged to take part, whether it’s your first ever race or you’re pushing towards qualification to represent the East Midlands region. There are both Open and Female categories in accordance with BTF regulations. All competitors receive a medal and the top 3 finishers in each category will receive a trophy!

The event is held in the grounds of Woodlands School, close to Derby city center which enables us to keep the course entirely traffic free with good access for spectators. We use the 20m indoor pool and the school sports fields, with race distances as shown in the table below. Note: the course is predominantly grass and as such participants footwear and cycle tyres should be suitable for the terrain.

Ages are taken as of the 31st December of the year of the event

UNTIMED NOVICE - NEW FOR 2025

We recognise that racing for the first time as part of a regional competition is daunting for all ages. To complement the TriStart age group we are introducing an Untimed Novice category at a lower entry fee than the League races, open to ages from TS1 and upwards (9-16). 

What to expect: This event will take place on the same course as the timed races but is completely untimed. You will be given a briefing prior to your wave start explaining each stage of the course.

Please do not enter this category if you wish to recieve a race finish time or are participating in the East Midlands League.

RELAY FORMAT - NEW FOR 2025

New for 2025 is an exciting relay format for mixed teams of 4. Each team must be made up of at least 2 female members and entries are open to teams comprising a mixture of TS3 (13/14 yrs) and Youth (15/16 yrs). The format is intended to be fast and furious, encouraging friendly competition between Clubs or Schools. 

Sign up as a team of 4 by the nominated Team Captain is priced at £39 for the whole team. Entries will be approved once submitted to ensure compliance with the mixed team rules. Team Captain's will need to add each particpant using the 'Manage People' option when signed in to the Entry Central system - have D.O.B, Home Nation membership number and any medical details (if applicable) to hand! Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams will be awarded on the day.

Derby Junior triathlon information.

RACE PASS:

The Derby Junior Triathlon is a BTF permitted event. Individuals who are not annual members of British Triathlon must purchase a Race Pass to take part in a British Triathlon permitted event. A Race Pass provides membership to the sport on the day of the event, a race licence and public liability insurance cover only for the duration of the race it was purchased for. The way that race licenses/day licenses are administered has changed. Entry Central will now collect a £2 fee on behalf of the BTF for any participants that are not a current Home Nations member.

For the relay events, the team members without a Home Nations membership will need a second Race Pass to cover this race.
