Bracebridge Triathlon and Duathlon

Bracebridge Triathlon and Duathlon

The event takes place Saturday July 10 and Sunday July 11 at Annie Williams Memorial Park in Bracebridge, Ontario. It offers multiple race formats over two days with a river swim, bike courses on shared roads, and run sections that cross the Muskoka River.

Distances include:

• Olympic triathlon: 1500 m swim 40 km bike 10 km run
• Olympic duathlon: 10 km run 40 km bike 5 km run

• Sprint duathlon: 5 km run 20 km bike 2.5 km run
• Give It A Tri: 400 m swim 10 km bike 2.5 km run

The swim uses the Muskoka River, about 25 m wide, run down one side and back along the other. Water temperatures are typically 22–25 C (72 F to 77 F) so wetsuits will likely be optional. Transition is a grassy area that overlooks the swim.

Bike courses are on shared roads and include features such as Porcupine Ridge, Golden Beach and a section past Santa’s Village. The Olympic bike is two loops with a midpoint through Annie Williams. Riders must follow standard safe riding practices.

The run route climbs over the Muskoka River before a final downhill to the finish. On race services, the event includes a locally sourced finisher’s medal, a race-specific t-shirt, Sportstats timing, post-event food, draw prizes and age-group awards. Multi-race and youth discounts apply; U23 receive 10% and U18 receive 20%.
