It’s all one big celebration! If you’re looking to qualify for the TYR WZA Miami in any division, you must perform the version of the workout within the division you are signed up for and submit your scores and required videos. Any athlete looking to test their fitness against the rest of the community is welcome to participate, too!

All TYR WZAOC workouts may be performed outside of an affiliate as long as the equipment and space meet the workout standards and flow requirements and your video submission is to the standard laid out in the scorecard.

The cut-off date for those looking to register in one of our age group divisions (masters or teenagers) is January 1st, 2024. Whatever age you will be on that date is the division that you register in for the TYR WZAOC!
- The age of all master’s team athletes will be considered in years only, and will not take into consideration months until a subsequent change in age. An athlete’s age on January 1st, 2024 in years (not months or days) is the number of years an athlete should use to tabulate their age for Master’s Teams. This means athletes will round down to the nearest whole year.
- For example, if an athlete is 35 years, 7 months, and 4 days old on January 1st, 2024; then their official age is 35 years old to add their age with teammates.
Cut lines will be applied to the overall leaderboard after the TYR WZAOC. For example, the first cut line will be after the 20th place athlete, to signify the separation between Elite & Rx individuals, and again, after the 40th place, to showcase the final qualifying spot for Rx. Everybody below the 40th spot on the leaderboard will have the opportunity to compete in the Open Division via Open Registration on a first-come, first-served basis.
On a pre-identified date, registration for specific divisions will open to all eligible athletes who completed the TYR WZAOC in its entirety (including video submission). Athletes are invited to race against other eligible athletes to sign up and secure their spot to compete at the TYR WZA Miami in the Open Division.
Nope! If an athlete qualifies for an individual and a team division, the athlete must select only one to compete in over the WZA Miami weekend.
