The road to the Super League Triathlon (SLT) Championship Series 2018/19 kicks off this June with a series of qualifier races in Poznan, Poland, and Penticton, Canada.
Pro triathletes have the chance to fight for a spot in the global Championship Series, where the top 50 male and female triathletes will race, and all will find out who is the most dynamic and versatile triathlete of all.
There will be a total of three qualifier events. A total of six ‘Golden Tickets’ granting direct access into the League’s Championship Series is set to be awarded in the City of Poznan, Poland, during an action-filled weekend of racing between 29 June and 1 July 2018. Another four male and four female triathletes will gain entry into the Championship Series through Penticton, Canada from 17-19 August 2018. Registration for entry into these qualifier events are now open. The third destination will be announced in the coming months.
The road to the SLT Championship Series offers a total of 20 Golden Tickets that are up for grabs. Each Golden Ticket will grant one triathlete entry into the Championship Series, and will be clinched by the overall top-ranking performers in the qualifier events. Proffesional triathletes from all over the world will compete in the qualifier races with clear access and an equal chance to be crowned the next SLT Champion.
