Performance Assessment Weekend

The Performance Assessment Weekend takes place as the first event on the British Triathlon Youth and Junior Super Series.

All athletes with aspirations to race in the British Youth and Junior Super Series are required to attend the PA’s, with the results from the weekend setting the order of entry for the initial races. The assessments include a swim time-trial on the Saturday followed by a combined, timed bike-run on the Sunday.

Youth & Junior athletes  who have not competed at the Performance Assessments before and are not a member of a Regional Academy will need to attend an Academy-led bike session within their region to test their bike skills ahead of the Performance Assessments.

Youth & Junior athletes who need to attend a bike session can contact their relevant English Regional Academy Lead here. Athletes based in Scotland please contact performancepathway@triathlonscotland.org, and in Wales, Welsh Academy Lead, VickyJohnston@welshtriathlon.org

Some Senior athletes will also need to attend the Performance Assessments in order to compete for starts in the Series.
