RACE CLERMONT 2027

RACE WEEKEND MARCH 6-7

WHAT SHOULD I REGISTER FOR IN 2027?

We know the new race lineup 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

• Age Group Athletes

HOW WILL ATHLETES BE PLACED?

Athletes will be sorted into one of two race fields:

USA TRI Premium Cup - Sprint Distance

The Premium Cup will feature the highest-ranked athletes. The 90 athlete field will be determined first by World Triathlon Ranking, followed by USA TRI Domestic Ranking. Once rankings have been applied, any remaining spots will be filled based on registration date and time.

USA TRI Super Sprint - Draft Legal

Athletes who are not placed into the Premium Cup field will be automatically placed into the Super Sprint Cup (max capacity 90 athletes as well).

You do NOT need to choose between the Premium Cup and Super Sprint. We will take care of that for you.

WHEN WILL START LISTS BE ANNOUNCED?

Start lists for both races will be announced February 1, 2027. At that time, registered athletes will learn whether they have been placed in the USA TRI Premium Cup or USA TRI Super Sprint race.

Our advice: Register early and fast (registration opens Saturday, October 31st at 12:00 PM NOON ET). Once rankings have been applied we’ll use the registration date and time to determine the remaining Premium Cup start list 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.

NCAA WOMEN

Register for the 2-Day USA TRI Cup. NCAA athletes will be placed into either the Premium Cup or Super Sprint 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.

USA TRIATHLON 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 Super Sprint 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.

STILL NOT SURE?

Here’s the easiest way to remember it:

U25 EDR Athlete → 2-Day USA TRI Cup

NCAA Woman → 2-Day USA TRI Cup

Elite Card Holder → 2-Day USA TRI Cup

Age Group Athlete 16+ → 2-Day USA TRI Cup

Youth Athlete 12–15 → Youth Draft-Legal Races

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).
