Classifications
If you wish to compete specifically in ‘Paratriathlon’ events or have ambitions of being a Paralympian then you will need to be classified so that it can be decided which category you would fit into.
There are currently six classifications in Paratriathlon:
- PTWC: Wheelchair users. There are two sub-classes, H1 (most impaired) and H2 (least impaired);
- PTS2: Severe impairments;
- PTS3: Significant impairments;
- PTS4: Moderate impairments;
- PTS5: Mild Impairments;
- PTVI: Total or Partial visual Impairment (IBSA/IPC defined sub-classes B1, B2, and B3) with one guide.
A Paralympic Sport
Did you know? … Para-Triathlon made its Paralympic debut at the Tokyo 2020 Games.
“Whether you’re thinking of the Paralympic Games or simply want to become a bit more active, triathlon can be the sport to get you there. With plenty of opportunities to get involved, you might just be a swim, bike and run away from where you want to be.”
