Frequently asked questions
How many events do I have to do to be part of the series?
Complete at least three qualifying event editions to be eligible. You may participate in all eight; your best four eligible credits count toward your season total.
How does single-event scoring work?
Triathlon times are compared within the same event, gender and five-year age group. Duathlon and aquabike times are compared within the same event and gender. The fastest finisher in that scoring group receives 1,000 time points. Other finishers lose points based on the percentage of time behind that finisher, with a 500-point time-score minimum. Add 0.5 point for each individual finisher in the scoring group, including those with fewer than three series editions. The calculation is: time score = max(500, round(1,000 – 1,000 x (your time – reference time) / reference time)); event points = time score + 0.5 x scoring-group individual finisher count.
How does scoring work for multiple events?
Your highest eligible credit from each edition counts once. We add your best four edition credits for your season total. A fifth or later event can improve your total only when its credit replaces a lower one. You must complete at least three qualifying editions to be eligible for series standings and awards.
How do I find results?
We will link series results website to the main menu of this website. The results site will go live in conjuction with out first 2024 triathlon, Bear Lake Triathlon, in late May.
Are Duathlon & Aquabike events included?
Yes. They are scored against the fastest finisher of the same event and gender, using the percentage-behind formula, 500-point time-score minimum, and 0.5 point per individual finisher in that scoring group.
What about Relays & Swim-Only events?
Relays, My Team Triumph and swim-only results do not score series points in 2026.
Does it cost extra to compete in the series?
No! You will be automatically added to the series by doing a minimum of (3) Tris4Health qualifying events.
