Hi Robert,

Thank you for contacting Triathanewbie.com and thanks for writing such a great question!

Congratulations on being a college student at 57 and YES, mini-triathlons are divided into age groups. Unfortunately, some races change the age groups slightly, but below are the average age groupings:

• ELITE MALE WINNERS
• MALE AGE GROUP: 19 – UNDER (sometimes they break this category down into 15- under and 16-19)
• MALE AGE GROUP: 20 - 24
• MALE AGE GROUP: 25 - 29
• MALE AGE GROUP: 30 - 34
• MALE AGE GROUP: 35 - 39
• MALE AGE GROUP: 40 - 44
• MALE AGE GROUP: 45 - 49
• MALE AGE GROUP: 50 - 54
• MALE AGE GROUP: 55 - 59
• MALE AGE GROUP: 60 - 64
• MALE AGE GROUP: 65 – OVER (some have 65-69 and 70 – over)
• NEWBIE MALE WINNERS (not all events have this although we think they should)
• CLYDESDALE WINNERS (weight exceeding 200 lbs)
• ELITE FEMALE WINNERS
• FEMALE AGE GROUP: 19 – UNDER (sometimes they break this category down into 15- under and 16-19)
• FEMALE AGE GROUP: 20 - 24
• FEMALE AGE GROUP: 25 - 29
• FEMALE AGE GROUP: 30 - 34
• FEMALE AGE GROUP: 35 - 39
• FEMALE AGE GROUP: 40 - 44
• FEMALE AGE GROUP: 45 - 49
• FEMALE AGE GROUP: 50 - 54
• FEMALE AGE GROUP: 55 - 59
• FEMALE AGE GROUP: 60 - 64
• FEMALE AGE GROUP: 65 – OVER (some have 65-69 and 70 – over)
• NEWBIE FEMALE WINNERS (not all events have this although we think they should)
• ATHENA WINNERS (weight exceeding 145 lbs)

We realize that you didn’t need to know the female age groups, as you are a man competing as a man, but we thought it would be helpful when we posted this question online for everyone to read.

Please let us know if we can help you find a triathlon in the future.

Be well.
