Calgary Wild Rose Women's Triathlon and Walk/Run
The Calgary Wild Rose Women's Triathlon and Walk/Run take place at Rocky Ridge YMCA on June 27, 2027. The weekend includes a pool‑based triathlon with multiple distance options and a separate untimed Walk/Run for women and girls.
Event options include:
- Sprint: 750 m swim, 23 km bike, 5 km run
- Team Sprint: 750 m swim, 23 km bike, 5 km run
- Super Sprint: 300 m swim, 11.5 km bike, 2.5 km run
- Walk/Run: two laps of a 2.5 km loop, total 5 km
The swim is conducted in lanes in the YMCA pool with athletes sent in continuously by estimated swim time. After the swim athletes run approximately 300 m barefoot to transition. Sprint athletes complete two bike loops while Super Sprint athletes complete one loop. The bike course is open to traffic; participants must stay to the far right, not cross the yellow centre line, and observe volunteer and flag person instructions. Drafting rules require spacing behind other riders. There is no aid station on the bike; runners and walkers have an aid station with water and electrolytes at the 2.5 km turnaround.
Included items vary by event but may include a race bib, swim cap, chip timing, a handcrafted finisher necklace or medal, race day bike support, and post‑race food. A portion of registration fees supports YW Calgary. Volunteers staff many roles during the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
