British Triathlon would like to make athletes aware that for this event, the first three from each age-group will automatically qualify as opposed to the first four in previous qualifiers. In addition, all roll down places will come from the first three original qualifiers in Nottingham Triathlon, Southport Marina Triathlon and Rother Valley Triathlon.
In addition, British Triathlon can also confirm the three qualification events for the 2014 ETU Standard Distance Duathlon Championships are Stirling Duathlon (30 March), Big Cow Duathlon (6 April) and Cambridge Duathlon (13 April).
Malcolm Westwood, British Triathlon Director for Age-Group Teams added: “I am delighted to have the additional qualifier confirmed for Geneva. We have listened to the feedback from the athletes and felt this was a necessary step to ensure aspirant team members have the best opportunity to qualify.
“I am also looking forward to seeing age-groupers compete at the three duathlon events, each of which provide a high quality experience for competing duathletes.”
