British Triathlon Age Group Major Events Programme

British Triathlon has announced the 2011 Age Group Major Events Programme for the forthcoming season, including all British Age Group Championships, ITU World Championships qualifiers and ETU European Championship qualifiers.

The programme is made up of the leading age group events from across the country, all demonstrating the highest quality event management, providing all competitors with the opportunity to perform to the very best of their ability, in a safe and enjoyable environment.

The programme is made up of some old favourites on the age group circuit, including the ever-popular British Triathlon Club Relay Championships at Holme Pierrepont organised by One Step Beyond Promotions.
