Feb 01, 2023

USA Triathlon (USAT) has unveiled the dates and locations for its 2023 Age Group, Club, and High School State Championships.

The calendar of USAT sanctioned state championship events give adult and high school athletes around the US the opportunity to race for state titles and qualify for USA Triathlon Nationals, the annual qualification event for the Sprint- and Olympic-Distance National Championships.

“It’s never too early to plan your race season, and as athletes look ahead to the 2023 calendar, I encourage all triathletes, from the experienced to the newbie, to race in your State Championship next year,” said Victoria Brumfield, USA Triathlon CEO.

“Local races in our communities exemplify the spirit and fun of our sport and each state championship is organized by our dedicated, passionate local race directors who produce first-class events.”

State shampionships are open to all triathletes, as no qualification is required to compete. They include a non-drafting Sprint- and Olympic-distance race for age group athletes, as well as a High School State Championship division in the Sprint-distance race.

All high school athletes who finish a High School State Championship race will automatically qualify for the Sprint-Distance National Championships at USA Triathlon Nationals, scheduled for August 4-6 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

New for 2023, all state championships will also serve as the Club State Championships for age group and high school clubs. Club members around the US are encouraged to race at their local state championship to earn the designation of top club in the state and win the club state champion banner from USA Triathlon.

Many state championships in 2023 will also offer separate events as part of the Splash and Dash Youth Aquathlon (swim-run) series geared towards encouraging youth participation in multisport.

Splash and Dash events aim to offer a low barrier to entry for children and their parents with a 100m or 200m swim and a 1 km or 2 km run. As a swim-run event, there is no bike portion, and no bike is required. Finishers of events in the Splash and Dash series will receive unique finisher medal from USA

Adult athletes racing at State Championships have increased odds to qualify for Sprint- and Olympic-Distance National Championships at USA Triathlon Nationals. State Championships qualify the top 35%, or top five finishers in each age group (whichever is greater) for the 2023 or 2024 Sprint and Olympic-Distance Nationals. Normal qualification criteria at any USA Triathlon-sanctioned triathlon of any distance is the top two, or 15%, of an athlete’s age group (whichever is greater).

State Championships held after June 1, 2023 will qualify athletes for both the 2023 and 2024 USA Triathlon Nationals. The 2023 USA Triathlon Nationals is scheduled for August 4-6 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
