IMPORTANT NOTE: All Youth F1 athletes are REQUIRED to attend a MANDATORY pre-race meeting on Friday, March 2nd from 6:45 – 7:15 pm at the National Training Center (1935 Don Wickham Drive, Clermont, FL 34711). You need to attend this meeting or you will not be allowed to be on the starting line.
In the spirit of providing a platform for the up and coming talent to compete, we are proud to host the Clermont Youth F1 Race. This race is for athletes between the ages of 12 – 16. The distances for this event are 375 meter swim, 10k bike (2 laps), and 2.5k run (1 lap). This is a draft legal event. Athletes will race on the same course as the elite/pro athletes!
The top ten (10) U.S. finishers in The Clermont Challenge Youth F1 Race (among 13 to 15 year olds only) will earn the opportunity to compete at the 2012 USAT Youth Elite and Junior Elite National Championships. Nationals will take place in West Chester, Ohio, on August 11 – 12, 2012. To learn more, visit http://www.usatriathlon.org/events/usat/2012/08/youth-national-championship.aspx. Only 75 athletes may start in each division at Nationals because of the unique draft-legal format.
