. The championship races for elite (adult) men and women was complemented with junior races from 1990 and with under-23 events from 2002.

The elite championship races are currently held over the standard (Olympic) distance of 1500 m mass-start open-water swim, 40 km draft-legal cycle and 10 km run.

Beginning with the 2009 racing season, the format of the ITU Triathlon World Championship was changed from a single championship race format to a series of six World Championship events culminating with a seventh Grand Final race. Men's and women's champions are determined through points accumulated over the course of the season.
