All athletes selected to compete in the 2021 World Triathlon Age-Group Championships (Multisport and/or Triathlon) are eligible to attend the planned 2022 Age-Group Experience Camp.
We would like to celebrate our Age-Group athletes and help with motivation by offering an Age-Group Team Camp on the Gold Coast from the 4th to 8th of April 2022.
Draft Camp Plan:
Within this timeframe we will look at incorporating:
The camp will cater for BOTH on road and off road athletes
The viability of this camp will be addresses no later than the 31st of January 2022.
We are asking athletes who are interested in taking part to pay a deposit of $50.00 by 31st January 2022 if interested in attending. This is a fully refundable but allows us to move forward with planning and those you who put their names down will get $50.00 off the $275 admin fee. So there is no downside!
If we are unable to travel to the Gold Coast or have insurance/vaccination restrictions we will relocate to NZ on the same dates – this decision will be made by the 31st of January 2022.
The cost to athlete’s is a $275 admin fee, plus flights and accommodation. We would recommend you consider travel and insurance from our partners – House of Travel and Aon. More details on this to come.
Qualification of Attendees
Athletes who had qualified for the 2021 Age-Group World Champs team will be eligible to attend the camp
We acknowledge there are still many unknowns and changing variables. As details around mandatory vaccinations, insurance, and travel restrictions (including isolation) are confirmed, we will update you.
