Elkford Triathlon - May 31, 2026
The Elkford Triathlon takes place in Elkford B.C. on May 31, 2026. The adult event is offered as a sprint distance with two levels: a Regular Sprint with a relatively flat bike course and an Extreme Sprint with a hilly bike section up Mine Road.
Swimming is held at the Elkford Aquatic Centre in a 25 m pool. Adult and kids swims use a continuous format with a maximum of two swimmers per lane. Swimmers line up behind the start timing mats; time begins when crossing the start mat and ends when crossing the finish mat outside the pool. Lap counters and a one-lap-to-go indicator are provided.
The adult bike leg is a 20 km out-and-back with separate routes for sprint and extreme sprint. Roads remain open to traffic so riders must use the shoulder. Helmets with chin straps secured are mandatory. Event procedures include racking bikes by race number, walking the bike to the mount line, staying to the right when entering or leaving, calling out when passing, and keeping spacing between bikes.
The adult run is 5 km with a water station at the 2.5 km turnaround. Team tagging occurs at the bike rack. Package pick-up is scheduled for Saturday, May 30, 17:00 to 19:00 and someone else may collect a package on a participant's behalf.
Registration opens March 1, 2026. Fee structures are listed for early and regular registration for adult individuals, adult teams, kids individuals and kids teams with age categories. At the finish area participants may use showers and a hot tub and a BBQ will be available for purchase. Results and awards are issued after the final finisher.
