About the race
The Calgary Wild Rose Women's events take place at the Rocky Ridge YMCA on June 27, 2027 and include a pool-based triathlon program and a separate walk/run.
Triathlon event options:
- 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
The swim is a pool swim with athletes sent into lanes in sequence and swim cut-off limits in place. After the swim athletes run approximately 300 m barefoot to transition. Participants must put on a helmet before touching their bike and must mount only at the designated mount line; they must dismount before the dismount line on return. The bike course is one or two loops depending on distance and remains open to traffic; riders must stay to the far right, not cross the yellow centre line, and avoid drafting. There is no aid station on the bike. Run distances follow the bike and use a 2.5 km loop; Sprint athletes complete two laps and Super Sprint athletes complete one lap. A run aid station is provided at the turnaround for the Sprint.
Included for participants are race bibs, swim caps, timing chips for triathlon results, a handcrafted finisher's necklace for triathlon finishers, post-race food including a chocolate fondue, and event gear available for purchase. Minimum age for triathlon entry is 12 years. The separate Walk/Run is open to women and girls ages 6 and up and follows the same 2.5 km loop completed twice for an approximate 5 km route; participants receive a headband and a finisher medal. An optional transition walk-through and package pick-up are scheduled before race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
