  • Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) PRIOR to each Qualification Event

The Expression of Interest (EOI) is the mechanism to state your intention to compete for a qualifying spot. Each event has a separate Triathlon Canada CCN Bikes EOI form to be completed by each athlete along with the EOI fee, payable to Triathlon Canada. The form will be sent to you prior to the event by the Race Director along with instructions on when and where to access the online form. By expressing interest and paying the fee, you will be eligible to compete for a qualifying spot on the team. Team selection is based on the number of qualifying spots and the event results, which we will send to Triathlon Canada. From here, those who qualify will be contacted by Triathlon Canada with an invitation to join Canada’s Age Group Team to compete at the World Championships!
