The IoM standard distance championships will be taken into account for those wishing to put their names forward for consideration. Selection will be made by a committee who are appointed by the executive officers of Isle of Man Triathlon Association.

Final selection is likely to be at the end of March 2023.

Consideration will be primarily for athletes attaining the necessary standards at the IoM Championships and who fit within the criteria.

IoM Triathlon Association committee has the right to award discretionary team places where specific consideration has not been achieved. There will be 10 places available for Guernsey 2023 across both categories, including for the first time a team sprint relay (two men, one woman).
