The
Triathlon BC Provincial Race Series is a Series that promotes competition and
participation among all
levels of athletes. The Series events are carefully selected to maintain a
high standard regardless of location. Athletes must complete (officially
finish) a minimum number of events to qualify to receive Series awards.
All 2008 race finishers (see Series rules) are placed in a
draw to win Devinci's flagship racer, the LeoTT, valued at over $8,500!    
Please note athletes must be at least 18 years old to
compete in the Series, as completion of an Olympic distance
event is required.
