Draft legal racing is returning to Ireland for the first time since 2019 with the Sprint Distance National Champs at Vodafone Dublin City Triathlon.
Triathlon Ireland and the Vodafone Dublin City Triathlon are excited to invite the country’s best athletes to the draft-legal Sprint Distance National Championships. A single draft-legal race to crown the 2022 junior and senior sprint distance national champions.
The draft-legal Sprint Distance National Championships will be run alongside the main race at this year’s Vodafone Dublin City Triathlon but please note – they are separate events with separate titles up for grabs.
The Age Group Sprint Distance National Champs & Triathlon National Series race at Vodafone DCT is the main mass participation race.
The overall male and female winners of the “Age Group Sprint Distance National Champs & Triathlon National Series” race will win the Sprint Distance National Championship for their Age Group, and the Triathlon National Series race.
If you would like to compete to win a Sprint Distance Age Group National Championship, or to earn Triathlon National Series Points, you must enter the “Age Group Sprint Distance National Champs & Triathlon National Series” event at Vodafone Dublin City Triathlon on the Triathlon Ireland race calendar here.
The draft-legal Sprint Distance National Championships is still open to anyone but is aimed at athletes who race internationally or have ambitions to do so.
The 2022 Sprint Distance National Champions and Junior National Champions will be the winners of the draft legal race. There will not be any age group prizes awarded from the draft legal race.
One of the biggest ever prize funds for a senior National Championship race will be on offer for those who reach the podium of the draft legal race – a massive €10,000!
Athletes from the age of 16 – 19 can enter to compete for the Junior National Championship. Junior athletes will start with the draft-legal Sprint Distance National Championship men’s and women’s waves.
Junior athletes wishing to take part in the draft-legal race should enter “Sprint Distance National Champs (Draft Legal) @ Vodafone Dublin City Triathlon” on the Triathlon Ireland race calendar here.
