CAN A RELAY TEAM PARTICIPATE IN THESE RACES?
Yes, you can create a relay team with 1 or 2 other athletes and complete the American Triple-T as a team. The relay team must register as a team and participate as a relay team for all events. Each member must complete at least 1 section of each race.
Are you wanting to race as an Individual but not quite up for the Triple T? Then take on the the Pleasant Valley Triathlons. Sprint, Olympic, & Half Iron distances available.
What is the ” NEW” TEAM COMPETITION and RULES?
Make your American Triple-T more fun by creating a team with 5 – 7 friends. You will still participate as an individual and are included in the individual competition for each race, BUT if you create or join a team, you can add an extra layer of fun by competing against other teams of American Triple-T participants. Each team must have at least 5 members and no more than 7.
How does it work? All of your team members’ scores from the Individual Competition will be accumulated to determine your team’s score for each race in the Team Competition. The top 5 scores from each All Men, All Women, and Mixed Gender Teams will be averaged for each race, then accumulated at the end of Sunday’s race to determine the winning teams. The Top 3 Teams in each Team Category will earn special awards.
There are 2 team categories: XT and ST; Team divisions are All Men, All Women, and Mixed Gender Team. (Note: The Mixed Gender Team must be as evenly split gender groups as possible). All team members must compete in the same race category (XT or ST) and must be competing in the age division category to be eligible. (Open and special categories are not eligible for team competition).
How do you form a team? It’s easy! When you register, there will be a question asking if you have a team name. If you do, list the name of the team and we will do the rest! Note: If you are a triathlon club or training group and want to have more than 1 team, that’s okay! Just make certain that the team members of each team know their specific team name. (example: City Tri Club A or City Tri Club Team 1, City Tri Club B or City Tri Club Team 2, etc).
You can form a team after you register by emailing us at customerservice@hfpracing.com, with your team name and the full names of all team members, and we will create the team for you. All teams must be created by May 15, 2025.
