In Paratriathlon, athletes will compete in a single race that combines three different events: swimming, biking and running. Athletes can choose to compete as an individual or on a 2 or 3-person relay team. As an individual, athletes will compete on their own in all three stages. As a relay team, team members will divide up the three stages of the course with one team member competing in no more than two legs of the course, the swim, the bike or the run.

Awards will be broken down by the following categories:

• Gender (Male/Female)
• Age Groups (U11, U14/U17 together, U20/U23 together)
• Disability Group (Ambulatory, Wheelchair, Visual Impairment)
