Draft Cert Process:
All athletes wishing to race in a draft legal event must possess a "drafting card" prior to competing. Presentation of a drafting card to race directors ensures that the athlete is capable of racing in a drafting situation without being a risk to themselves or the other participants.
To get an Ontario Drafting Card applicants must
- be 12 years of age or older
- be screened by an NCCP certified Level 2 (Comp. Intro) Cycling Coach or a NCCP Triathlon Coach who has taken additional training in draft legal cycling and is included on Triathlon Ontario's qualified list
- Submit the application to the Triathlon Ontario office. Only complete applications will be accepted.
- Triathlon Ontario will confirm that the athlete has met the requirements as set out for their category.
- Triathlon Ontario staff will issue a laminated Drafting Card to the athlete. A minimum of 30 days is required to process drafting cards
Drafting Cards will be valid for a period of 3 years, including the season it is issued eg. a drafting card issued in 2013 will be valid for the 2013, 2014, 2015 seasons. The athlete must reapply in 2016
Renewals - Once carded athletes must submit a renewal form every 3 years. In order to renew a drafting card the athlete must have completed 5 draft legal events in the previous 3 year period.
Failure to complete the minimum number of events will necessitate re-qualification.
All applications and renewal forms must be submitted to:

205- 3 Concorde Gate
