About the Tri-State Triathlon Series

Welcome to the new Tri-State Triathlon Series. The concept of the Tri State Triathlon Series is to provide amateur multisport athletes with a bona-fide Championship to compete for within the Tri State geographic region against other athletes of the same age. We will be awarding the Overall Top 3 Male and Female Tri-State Tri Series Championship as well as the Top 3 Male and Female in each Age Group.

In addition to Tri-State Tri Series Championship Medals we will also be offering a Cash Prize Purse. The Tri State Triathlon Series is made up of Triathlon events in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York, which are organized and put on by Green Brook racing, Team Mossman Events and Tri and Du It Multisport. The Tri-State Tri Series consists of 6 Triathlon events beginning in May. Each month there will be a Tri-State Tri Series race culminating with the last race in October.

1.3 Physically Challenged Athletes Division

Athletes who are physically challenged and do not wish to compete as an Age Group athlete may compete in the Tri State Triathlon Series Physically challenged Athlete Division. TSTS points are awarded as detailed in Section 1.5. There are two Physically Challenge Athlete Age Groups based on USAT Age: 15-39 and 40 plus.

1.4 Schedule of Events

Racers can enter as many or as few races as they want, however, the most points will determine the overall winners and age group winners, so it is best for a racer to enter all events. 1.5 Accumulation of Points Points are awarded to the top 30 finishers, by gender, in each age group at each TSTS race. More points are awarded at an Olympic Distance event versus a Sprint Distance event because of the increased length of the race distances.
