XTERRA Asia-Pacific Championship

YES! Since the XTERRA Asia-Pacific Championship event is sanctioned by Triathlon Western Australia (the governing triathlon federation for WA), athletes racing triathlon (Full Distance and Sprint) need a triathlon license from AusTriathlon to race. If you are already a member of AusTriathlon, please enter your triathlon license number when you register. If not, you must purchase a One Day License (ODL) in your registration by going to MyEvents.

• Full Distance price is AUD$22.50

• Sprint Distance price is AUD$12.50 

• Kids are FREE

Yes, teams will need to pay that ODL fee (depending on the distance). The only way the teams will not pay a fee is if all three of them are AusTriathlon members. If at least one of them is not an AusTriathlon member, one ODL will need to be purchased for the team, at $22.50 for full distance and $12.50 for Sprint.

Yes, foreign athletes are required to purchase a license from AusTriathlon, even if you already have a membership from your country’s Triathlon Federation.
