TriStar is the name British Triathlon gives to the children's races. The age groups are all taken at the 31 December of the current year and are TriStar Start (8), TriStar 1 (9-10), TriStar 2 (11-12) and TriStar 3 (13-14)
The races listed in the TriStar League Table make up the East Essex Tri Club TriStar League. They're open to all club members with athletes competing in their own gender & age group. There are a maximum of 5 scoring events made up ot the best triathlon, the best aquathlon/duathlon, the best bike/run and best 2 other events (from any category). Scoring is based on the winner getting maximum points and then for other competitors, points are awarded as a proportion of the winners time divided by their time. It is therefore important that if you can't win the race to get as close as possible to the winner's time. Points are awarded as follows:-
| Best 2 Triathlon * | Maximum 100 points * | Measured from category winner (from any club) |
| Best Aquathlon / Duathlon | Maximum 100 points | Measured from category winner (from any club) |
| Best Run / Bike | Maximum 80 points | Measured from 1st East Essex competitor in the relevant category |
| Best 2x other event (any category) | ||
| Marshalling bonus | 10 points per event | 10 bonus points for all TriStars who marshal at the Basildon Aquathlon (adults event) and Grays Tri |
| Total of 5 events (+ marashalling bonus) | ||
| * Bonus Points: There will be 10 bonus points for all athletes competing in the East Essex TriStar Club Championships at Basildon Kids Tri | ||
