RACE CLERMONT 2027
RACE WEEKEND MARCH 6-7
WHAT SHOULD I REGISTER FOR IN 2027?
We know the new race names may look a little different this year, so we’ve made registration as simple as possible.
ARE YOU 16 OR OLDER?
Register for the 2-Day USA TRI Cup. This includes:
Athletes who previously raced in our U25 EDR
NCAA Women
USA Triathlon Elite Card Holders and any International Athletes
Age Group Athletes
HOW WILL ATHLETES BE PLACED?
Athletes will be placed into one of two race fields:
USA TRI Premium Cup — Sprint Distance
The Premium Cup will include a maximum of 90 athletes, with the lap out rule in effect.
Athletes will be placed into the Premium Cup in the following order:
World Triathlon Ranking
USA TRI Domestic Ranking
Registration date and time
Once rankings have been applied, all remaining spots will be filled based on when athletes registered (date and timestamp) This is why registering early is important!
USA TRI Cup — Super Sprint Distance
Athletes who are not placed into the Premium Cup will automatically be placed into the Tri Cup, which also has a maximum capacity of 90 athletes.
Athletes competing in the Tri Cup will earn valuable points based on their finish that can help improve their priority for higher level draft legal events.
You do NOT need to choose between the Premium Cup and Tri Cup when you register. We’ll take care of your race placement.
PREFER THE TRI CUP - A SUPER SPRINT?
No problem! Some athletes - particularly those younger or newer to draft legal racing - may prefer to compete in the Tri Cup.
During registration, athletes will have the option to remove themselves from consideration for the Premium Cup and race in the Tri Cup instead.
WHEN WILL START LISTS BE ANNOUNCED?
We anticipate the fields will fill very quickly, with a maximum of 180 men and 180 women across the two races.
If the fields fill as expected, we plan to release the Premium Cup and Tri Cup start lists in December. The exact date will be announced.
If registration takes longer to fill, start lists will be announced no later than February 1, 2027.
OUR STRONG RECOMMENDATION: REGISTER EARLY!
Registration opens Saturday, October 31 at 12:00 PM NOON ET.
Once World Triathlon and USA TRI Domestic Rankings have been applied, registration date and timestamp will determine the remaining Premium Cup positions.
Once you register, there is nothing else you need to do. We’ll take care of your race placement.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE U25 EDR?
The U25 age restriction is gone!
If you previously raced in our U25 EDR, register for the 2-Day USA TRI Cup. Athletes over the age of 25 are now welcome to compete.
TO RECAP!!!
NCAA WOMEN/TEAMS
Register for the 2-Day USA TRI Cup. NCAA athletes will be placed into either the Premium Cup or Tri Cup using the same selection process outlined above. Team coaches planning to bring athletes to Clermont should email Bill Burnett as soon as possible to request team entries.
USAT ELITE CARD HOLDERS
Register for the 2-Day USA TRI Cup. Elite Card holders are welcome to compete and, depending on ranking, will likely be placed into the Premium Cup field.
AGE GROUP ATHLETES
Register for the 2-Day USA TRI Cup. Age Group athletes are absolutely welcome! Most Age Group athletes should expect to compete in the Tri Cup races unless their ranking qualifies them for the Premium Cup.
YOUTH ATHLETES - AGES 12–15
Good news — our Youth Draft Legal races are back!
Saturday: All Youth athletes will compete together in one combined draft-legal race, capped at 90 total athletes.
Sunday: Girls and boys will compete in separate races.
INTERNATIONAL ATHLETES
International athletes are invited and encouraged to race in Clermont and compete alongside some of the best athletes in the USA! Register for the 2-Day USA TRI Cup.
AND DON’T FORGET…..
The 2-Person Mixed Relay is back in 2027 as well! We anticipate 25–30 teams this year — reserve your spot when registration opens (you can always find a relay partner later).
