To do this you must first register an account with Triathlon Ireland.
Once you have registered and logged in you should be able to view your profile. Select ‘Junior’ and ‘Add Junior Account.’ Here you can fill in their details, agree to the Parental Approval Waiver, and save. To purchase a membership for your Junior you will need to click on ‘Juniors’ and ‘Upgrade Membership.’

To get the Triathlon Ireland Number for the participants, they will need to register for a Triathlon Ireland account . By signing up, the participants will not need to purchase any membership but they will then have a TI number.
Once each participant has a TI number, you will then enter this upon registration for the race, not the participants name and purchase the One Day License if a member of the team does not have a full membership. One full membership or one ODM per team is required for Insurance purposes.
