High Performance

Triathlon Canada International Competition Cards are available from Triathlon Canada to those triathletes and duathletes who have demonstrated proficiency in elite or open competition, at a national or international standard, but are not a current member of the National Team or National Development Team.

The standard for a Triathlon Canada International Competition Card is normally based on performances at the Canadian National Championship, ITU International competitions and other high caliber events from the prior year. Standards will be reviewed annually and cards will be issued for the year January 1 to December 31. The cost for 2010 is $55.

Triathlon Canada International Competition Card holders are not members of any national team and as such do not enjoy the benefits of national team members.

Applications for a Triathlon Canada International Competition Card are available from the national office of Triathlon Canada. Alternatively forms are available for download below and can be returned by FAX, email or regular mail.
