Race and Age Group Categories
Athletes With A Disability (AWAD)
All MultiSport Canada races will all have an Athlete With A Disability
(AWAD) category.
Athena and Clydesdale
At the annual OAT race directors' meeting in November 2009 an agreement was made to no longer offer a Clydesdale/Athena category in Ontario. Clydesdale/Athena is not recognized as an official category by OAT, Triathlon Canada or ITU and has only been included in a limited number of events in Ontario. We recognize that some athletes have come to expect that this category will be offered however for the sake of consistency that will no longer be the case.
We respect OAT's decision and know that all athletes competing by age group will still be fun and competitive.
Relays
Relay teams are all placed in one category no matter what the make up
of the team.
