Race Officials Training

Become qualified to officiate at Triathlon Ireland races this Spring and you can earn a few euros in expenses during the Summer. TI are putting on a free training course for Referees and Technical Delegates who can then be selected to represent TI at races during the season.

If you are selected, you can claim expenses of €50 plus mileage plus any other reasonable expenses associated with your duty. Expenses are paid direct to your bank account about 2 weeks after claiming.

Officials are selected early in the year (about April), so you will know well in advance which races you are needed for. You are normally expected to cover 2 races per season, and races are given according to experience (i.e. you won't be expected to referee triAthlone if you are just qualified!)

The course dates are below, if you are interested in attending (no cost), please send a mail to administrator@triathlonireland.com with your name and club (this bit is important as all clubs are expected to contribute).

The courses are also open to trained officials who want to refresh.
