- Long Triathlon: 300m swim, 30km bike, 5km run

Included with registration are a virtual bike fit, a Somersault swim cap, a personalized race bib, professional timing, on-course nutrition, free downloadable race photography, podium prizes for top three male female and non-binary finishers, post-race massage and physio services, and post-race snacks. Swim entries are limited because the pool has restricted capacity; other race formats have more availability. The event supports Safe Families Canada - Ottawa, and many race-day volunteers are from that organization. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
