Canaqua Sports Mid-Summer Classic - Welland
The event takes place at the Welland Community Boathouse on a section of the Welland Recreational Canal. Multiple race formats are offered at the same venue on August 2, 2026, using the dock area and nearby shoreline.
The Midsummer Open Water Swim uses a 2.0 km loop course; swimmers complete 1, 2, or 5 laps depending on their chosen distance. The open water swim is open to participants aged 12 and up.
The Mudskipper Midsummer SwimRun runs on a new 11K route with alternating swim and run stages and includes both individual and relay divisions. The relay format pairs two people so one team member swims while the other runs.
The Midsummer Trailrun is organized as a 5K lap, with the option to run one lap (5K) or two laps (10K) along trails beside the canal.
Registration features tiered pricing and pre-registration benefits mentioned for early registrants. The event lists a wetsuit sponsor and a partnership with a childhood cancer charity. Start and transition areas are located near the dock to centralize race operations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
