Triathlon Grand Prix Races
This is our Club’s annual competition which consists of a series of events selected by the Grand Prix Secretary at the beginning of the year. Members compete for the coveted Grand Prix trophy which is awarded in November.
The races will cover a range of distances and terrains from Duathlons in early season to Sprint Triathlons, Olympic distance Triathlons and even a cycle Time Trial, if you wanted to have a go. The calendar of this year’s events can be found below.
Scoring Points are scored based on position compared to other SAC athletes. See points scoring system below.
