USAT Multisport Competition Rules

USA Triathlon recently updated the its competition rules.

The new and updated rules will go into effect on March 15, 2023.

From your new "super shoes" to my fancy wetsuit and that automatic DISQUALIFICATION for your helmet chin strap, don't say you didn't know!

Whether you're racing to FINISH or racing to WIN,
it is YOUR JOB TO KNOW THE RULES.

It is for EVERYONE'S SAFETY!
​

Here is the message as said by USAT’s Commissioner of Officials, Mark Turner”

“This comprehensive new ruleset aligns USA Triathlon’s competition rules with the global standards set by World Triathlon, but remains sensitive to the unique multisport culture of the United States.

Safety and fairness remain USA Triathlon’s highest priority. Portions of the 2023 Multisport Competition Rules were also redesigned to provide a better understanding of the rules and educate athletes, while applying better global standards across the sport.”

Among the impacts to athletes include:

  • Rules adjusted for the level of competition and participation, allowing Race Directors greater latitude for athlete accommodations – we encourage two-way dialogue between athlete and race director
  • On-course penalty notification and penalty service to improve finish line integrity, streamline communications with timing, and increased customer satisfaction
  • Athletes will have longer draft zones, allowing more time for athletes to complete the pass legally. The draft zone distance is being increased from 7 meters to 10 meters for Sprint and Standard (Olympic) distance races and 12 meters for distances longer than Standard
  • Replacement of PC Open with more comprehensive and inclusive Adaptive Triathlon (AT) Rules, Accessibility Divisions
