Triathlon Canada’s 2023 International Competition Card (ICC) and Ironman Pro License applications are now open.

For the 2023 competition season, Triathlon Canada will be offering 2 different racing licenses based on the type of racing you will be competing in. These include the International Competition Card for all those wanting to race in World Triathlon races and the Ironman Pro License for Ironman and Xterra athletes who are only planning on racing in Ironman and Xterra events. Please note that the Ironman Pro License will not grant you access to the World Triathlon Event Entries in Smartabase.

If you are only racing in Ironman Pro and/or Xterra races in 2023, please click here to be redirected to the Ironman Pro License description and application.

All athletes wanting to race in World Triathlon Events; Elite, U23 and JR triathlon, paratriathlon and multisport as well as those wishing to be considered for the Youth Commonwealth Games, must have a valid International Competition Card. This requires proof of a valid Pre – Participation Medical Exam (PPE). Your PPE must be uploaded into Smartabase prior to starting your ICC application. 

As in previous years, Triathlon Canada’s secure Smartabase system will be used to complete the ICC application as well as collect and store all your personal, medical and performance data.

The ICC Application Process is thorough. Before you begin, please be aware that you will need the following;

  • Proof of Canadian Citizenship or Resident Status (i.e. Canadian Passport)
  • An appointment with your family doctor or clinic to complete your PPE. The PPE form can be downloaded here (English). It can also be found in Smartabase within the ICC application as well as on the Publications page on the Triathlon Canada website
    • Everyone is required to submit a PPE every 12 months and an ECG every 24 months.
  • A valid 2023 Provincial Membership.
