2020 AGNC - Use 2019 to Qualify for 2020!
Age Group Nationals will be headed back to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2020-2021! With this venue change, also comes a change in the qualification criteria. Beginning in 2020, Sprint-distance will require qualification, similar to Olympic-distance. More information on next year can be found at www.usatriathlon.org/agnc2020.
To provide additional qualification opportunities with this change, USA Triathlon has created the following exemptions to 2020 qualification:
- Anybody who is registered for 2019 AGNC in Cleveland will have the chance to register on site in Cleveland for 2020 and all qualification requirements will be waived for both Olympic and Sprint. This 2020 registration opportunity with no qualification restrictions will only be available at the expo in Cleveland, Aug. 8-11. This will also be the lowest entry price for 2020, $175 for Olympic and $90 for Sprint. You must show your 2019 race wristband at the Visit Milwaukee table to register for 2020 AGNC. (Credit cards only, no cash or checks accepted). Again, this opportunity is only available at the expo - Online registration will not be available for 2020 until Monday, Aug. 12.
- All participants in the Sprint-distance race at 2019 AGNC in Cleveland will automatically qualify for the 2020 Sprint National Championships in Milwaukee. This special, one-time qualification opportunity will not apply in future years.
Please note that even though both Olympic and Sprint will require qualification starting in 2020, open waves for each distance will be available in Milwaukee. The open waves are not eligible for national championship awards or Team USA Qualification, but they will have the opportunity to qualify for 2021 AGNC National Championship divisions.
Sprint-distance is still open to all for 2019, so please register today! We look forward to seeing you in Cleveland and Milwaukee!
