Prizes

The top athletes overall with the most total points accumulated during the 2023 season will win the following prizes (participants must have competed in at least 3 applicable events):

* Age Groups: 14 and Under, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75 and Over 

Scoring System

Points for the series will be tallied after each race and the leaders will be posted on the Grand Prix Standings section of our website. If an athlete enters multiple categories (Triathlon, Duathlon, Aquabike, Clydesdale/Athena) during the season, points will accrue separately in each category. After the last race of the season, the prizes will be awarded to the top male and female athletes who have earned the highest total points. Age group winners will receive awards for the highest total in each age group. There is no duplication of awards. Kayak and Non-Multisport events do not gain points. Overall winners are ineligible for age group awards.

A: No if they are in the top 3 overall they just get those points and don’t win their age group

Q. Are overall totals a combination of overall points + age group points or are they maintained separately?
