To be eligible for the prizes you need to complete a minimum of three races which must include atleast one triathlon. There are prizes for Open and Female 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Also prizes for Open and Female Senior (18-39), Vets (40-59) and Super Vets (60+). Age group will apply as per age on 31st December 2026.
All events (except Club Championship races see below) will score 50 pts for placing 1st against other club members in the open or female category, 49 pts for 2nd etc. In the event of a points tie the results from the best four races including two triathlons will be considered. If still tied, the results from the best five races including two triathlons will be considered. If still tied additional races will be used always with a minimum of two triathlons.
We’ve added the Spond events with all the details where we have them. To score you need to have clicked ‘Attending’ in Spond (no exceptions), as well as entering each event independently with East London Triathletes as your club (unless first claim run/cycle is needed).
Club Championships
We ELT Club Championships for Duathlon, Triathlon and Aquathlon. These are three specified events where the outright open and female winner will be crowned club champion of the respective discipline. To encourage as many members as possible to enter, these three races will also garner an extra point per place for the grand prix (so 51pts for first etc).
The three events are the LFTC Duathlon in March, Cotswold 113 Triathlon in June and the LFTC Sprint Aquathlon in September.
London League
We’ve included all seven London League GP events. These will be an additional chance to win regional awards against other London Clubs of which there were twenty five competing last year. We had one 2nd place and one 3rd place team finishes last year as well as five individual age group 2nd places.
The Schedule
The provisional Grand Prix race schedule is below. We’ve tried again to keep most of the events local, and also included individual swim, bike and run events so there should be atleast a few races for everyone. Where an event is marked available this can be booked straight away. Where an event is marked TBC we are still waiting to confirm its go ahead but will publish confirmation as soon as we hear and a Spond event will also be added with all the details. If anyone has any questions, please let anyone on the comittee know.
