The Swiss Triathlon competition rules apply for all the categories.

A hard helmet is mandatory for all categories. As the race tracks remain open to traffic, all participants must comply to the rules of the road.

The StartPass is mandatory for Olympic Distance (individual race) and National/Youth League races.

A competition license by Swiss Triathlon (StartPass) or by a foreign federation affiliated to ITU/ETU, is mandatory for individual races affiliated to a national serie:

• Youth League 14-15
• National League
• Olympic Distance (individual races)

The full competition rules are applied.

The annual StartPass can be ordered on the Swiss Triathlon website. For those that do not own one, it will be required to order a daily StartPass (available for one race only) when you register on the Datasport website. It costs CHF 32.50 online, and CHF 40.- when registering on site. More information is available on Swiss Triathlon website.

The EasyPass is mandatory for the Duathlon, the Short Distance and Relays

For races with ranking and referees, not part of the Triathlon Series, an EasyPass is required by Swiss Triathlon. It costs CHF 10.- and allows you to become a member of the Swiss Triathlon Federation. In the races where it applies, the competition rules are lightened in an educational and promotional spirit. This contribution helps to boost the offer of popular competitions in Switzerland, to standardize them and to increase their quality while allowing the development of triathlon in our country.

In Nyon, the EasyPass is necessary for the Duathlon, the Short Distance race (individual and relay) and for the Olympic distance relay. For the relays, only the purchase of a single EasyPass is necessary for the whole team. More information is available on the Swiss Triathlon website.

The EasyPass must be purchased at the time of registration on the Datasport platform. A person with an annual license (StartPass) does not need to purchase an EasyPass.

The FunPass is necessary for the Discovery race and the Aquathlon

For races without ranking or referees, a FunPass is required by Swiss Triathlon. It costs CHF 3.- and allows you to become a member of the Swiss Triathlon Federation. In the races where it is required, the competition rules are not applied. Swiss Triathlon thus wishes to offer a form of event that is fun, relaxed and accessible to all. This contribution allows developing this type of project, to increase its quality while allowing the development of triathlon in our country.

In Nyon, the FunPass is necessary for the Discovery race and the Aquathlon. More information is available on the Swiss Triathlon website.

The FunPass must be purchased at the time of registration on the Datasport platform. A person with an annual license (StartPass) does not need to purchase a FunPass.
