With the 2021 race season winding down, Triathlon England have announced the dates for the six national championships of 2022.
As in previous years, the championships being contested will be sprint, standard and middle distance triathlon, aquathlon, standard distance duathlon and club relays, with events across England selected to host them.
Championship events provide Triathlon England core and ultimate members with the opportunity to compete to be crowned national champion in their age group, with the five individually raced championships being divided into five-year categories and the club relays seeing teams of four allocated categories depending on their team’s make-up.
The first championship of the year is the Triathlon England Standard Distance Duathlon Championship on 3 April at the Yorkshire Duathlon. Second is the aquathlon championships in Sywell, Northamptonshire in June before the middle and sprint distance triathlon championships on back-to-back weekends in mid-July.
The August bank holiday sees the penultimate championships of the year as the club relays provide an opportunity to be crowned national champion as a team, before the Triathlon England Championships draw to a close with the Triathlon England Standard Distance Triathlon Championship at the Bournemouth Triathlon in September.
