"The Bridport Olympic distance will be a great opener to the new season, and as always we look forward to hosting this event," LTC president Matt Wheatley said.
LTC's first event of the season will be a duathlon at Symmons Plains on October 17. The club will also host races in Greens Beach, St Helens, Beauty Point and George Town.
Triathlon Tasmania executive officer Maree Blackaby said all races would be held in line with the required COVID-safe guidelines.
"The health and safety of our competitors, volunteers and spectators is paramount," Blackaby said.
"Event logistics have been assessed and upgraded to ensure we meet state and federal government COVID-19 guidelines.
"We've collaborated significantly with Triathlon Australia and our state associations in terms of developing a robust return to racing strategy for state government approval and we are pleased to be in a position to start racing again."
