Club Championships
The Club Championships represent an opportunity for members to test themselves against other members within their age group and across all age groups in four categories - triathlon (short & long course), duathlon and open water swimming. At the end of the season, we host the Club Championships Awards Night, where trophies, prizes, and recognition are presented to celebrate the achievements of our members. It’s a fun and social occasion, giving everyone a chance to connect, reflect on the season, and celebrate together.

How It Works
By competing in nominated events, you qualify for the Club Championships and could win a share of prizes from our sponsors! To be eligible for Club Championship points, you must be a financial member at the time of the event.
Points are scored in Victorian Duathlon Series, National Series races, or equivalent events (Sprint or Olympic Distance). Your points are calculated against other competitors in your age group, with each athlete’s best two races counting toward the points total, plus bonus points.
Bonus Points:
-
50 points for racing in your Yarra Tri tri-suit
-
100 points for winning the Australian Championship
In the event of a tie, additional races can be used until the tie is broken. If athletes remain tied after four races, the Club Championship is shared. Specific qualifying conditions exist for each Club Championship and are explained further below.
Scoring:
Points are calculated by dividing the winner’s time in your age group by your time. For example, if you finished a sprint triathlon in 58:26 and the winner completed it in 56:10, your points score will be 961 (winner’s time in seconds ÷ your time in seconds × 1000). Points from smaller series or races may be multiplied by 0.75 to account for weaker fields.
