International Junior Tri Dash Event 2019
The inaugural Junior Tri Dash Bangkok series has been a great success. The four races in 2018 attracted a total of more than 400 junior triathletes. Building on the success of 2018, we are launching the 2019 series with a total of five races from January to October. The five races will be held on Saturdays, all of them the day before the respective adult Dash races.
The entry fee is THB 1,200 per race or THB 5,500 for the five race package. Every junior athlete racing their first race of the season will receive a starter kit that comprises of a Tri Dash t-shirt, a drawstring bag, a race belt, and a bike bottle. If you sign up for a minimum of three races you will receive a Tri Dash visor and if you sign up for the whole five race series you will receive a Tri Dash tri suit.
There are finisher medals as well but with a twist. Finish your first race and you will get a bronze medal. After finishing three races you will get a silver medal and if you finish all five races you receive the prestigious gold medal.
There will also be a series points system allowing junior athletes to accumulate points throughout the series with the top three athletes in each age group receiving a trophy and prizes at the season finale in October.
