USAT Regional Youth/Junior Elite Cups
Regional Junior Elite Cups are USA Triathlon’s entry-level draft-legal junior elite events. Working with our Regional Athlete Development Coordinators and interested Race Directors, these events provide athletes with an opportunity to experience draft-legal racing closer to home, learn ITU rules, and determine if they are ready for national-level competition. Regional Cups also serve as tune-up races for athletes preparing for Junior Elite Nationals and other international events.
