Youth is the name British Triathlon gives to the race category for those who are 15 or 16 on the 31 December of the current year
The races listed in the Youth League Table make up the East Essex Tri Club Youth League. Open to all Youth club members, there are a maximum of 7 scoring events of which the best 2 triathlons, the best aquathlon or duathlon, the best run race, the best swim TT, the best bike TT and the best other event (from any category) count. Scoring is based on the winner getting maximum points and then for other competitors, points are awarded as a proportion of the winners time divided by their time. It is therefore important that if you can't win the race to get as close as possible to the winner's time. Points are awarded as follows:
