Do I need a Triathlon License to race in this category?
Please note that all athletes are required to have a triathlon license to compete.
For foreign athletes in Italy, you have two options:
You need to be a member of your country's National Triathlon Federation and have a valid license* issued by that federation. Please have a copy of this ready and present it at the registration tent during race pack collection.
*Please ensure that your license is current and not expired on race day.
In case you are not a member, you can apply for a one-day license under the Italian Triathlon Federation. To do so, you must have a medical certificate issued in one of the following ways:
1. Medical certificate issued from your country based on the Italian Triathlon Form (no other form admitted, please download the form here)
2. Medical certificate issued in Italy. A doctor will be available on-site only on Friday, September 27th from 08:30-12:30. Please use this link to book your appointment.
The cost of the one-day license depends on the type of race. This license can be purchased at the race office located on-site:
Athletes from 6-17 yrs old ------------------------------------------ €5.00
Sprint and Full Distance Races (18 yrs. and over) ---------- €20.00
SUMMARY: You will need to show your valid triathlon license to race. If you do not have a valid annual triathlon license, you will need to (at your expense) obtain a medical certificate from your country using this form or from an authorized Italian medical provider to be able to purchase a FITRI Day License.
