Frequently Asked Questions

Why were these races selected?
Triathlon Australia has identified events that are safe and have a strong reputation in the triathlon community.

How do I determine my age category?
Age groups are determined by date of birth as of 31 December 2023.

Do I need to let TA know which races I am competing in?
No, Triathlon Australia will be working with the race directors to ensure all South Australia members results are sent to Triathlon South Australia for point allocation.

How long after a race will the point score come out?
The race directors have a one-week time frame to send all results to the Triathlon South Australia office. The Triathlon South Australia office will then aim to have the point score up two weeks after the race. If there is a delay, this is usually a result of issues with the timing system, or the Race Director is busy on-site packing up from the event.

If there is an issue with my result or placing, who do I contact?
All timing issues must go to the race organiser immediately after the event, within 30 minutes of the final race. Once the race results have been received by Triathlon South Australia, the places will stand. If you find an error in the leader board, please contact events@sa.triathlon.org.au

If there is an issue with my point allocation on the TSA State Series website, who do I contact?
If you have any issues with the State Series Leader Board, please contact Triathlon South Australia on events@sa.triathlon.org.au

What happens if an event is cancelled?
If an event is cancelled and not able to be rescheduled, no points will be awarded to any athlete for the race. 

Is there a series registration?
No, to enter the series you just need to register through the event’s website and be an active Triathlon Australia member. Make sure you register in the correct race category so you can earn points.

How do I know which race category to compete in?
This can be found in the Events & Categories section of the State Series Rules on the website.

How do I register for an event?
State Series Races are run by external Event Directors, who have their own registration systems. You must register via the Event’s website. Links can be found on our website. Any queries regarding event registration should be directed to each Event Director.

If I do not race the required distance, can I still earn points?
No, the distances are set for the max distances for each age group. You need to compete at this distance to earn points.

I can no longer race, can I get a refund?
All entry fees are non-refundable after 5pm two weeks prior to each race. Prior to this all refunds and cancellations will incur a $20 administration fee. Requests must be in writing via email: events@sa.triathlon.org.au
