The Lake Chaparral Triathlon, Calgary's longest-running triathlon, celebrates its 25th anniversary with a variety of race distances suitable for all ages and abilities. Held at Lake Chaparral in Calgary, Alberta, the event features standard (1500m swim, 38km bike, 10km run), sprint, and shorter "Tri it" distances, along with relay teams, duathlon, aqua-bike, open water swims, and a Kids of Steel race for children aged 3-13. The swim takes place in the warm waters of Lake Chaparral, followed by a multi-lap bike course through the local community and a run course winding through the neighborhood.
Safety measures include lifeguards, course marshals, and police support. The event fosters a family-friendly atmosphere with post-race festivities and supports local charities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
