The Course

The swim is a single 750 m triangular loop starting from the Horseshoe Bay Beach. Wetsuits are allowed, long sleeves recommended. The cycling leg is mostly flat with one rise. It starts with a clockwise loop going 3/4 of the way around Wasa lake and then spins around to follow the Canadian Rockies and the Kootenay River heading south toward the Heritage Town of Fort Steele. The return portion takes cyclists directly back to the transition area via the south park entry/exit. The triathlon will wrap-up with 2 flat out-and-back run segments, with a cruise by the transition zone in between.

Minimum age of each participant doing the olympic relay is 18 years old and the Sprint relay is 16 years old, all ages as of Dec 31, 2021. Categories & Awards: top teams in each category in both the Standard and Sprint events will be recognized with awards. The sum of the ages of the swimmer, cyclist and runner (as of Dec. 31, 2019) determines the male, female and mixed team category: less than 0-119, 120-154, 155+.
