About the race
Lakeside is a weekend multisport event held at Lakeside Resort on Lake Sunova in rural Oxford County, south of St. Mary’s. Events take place on Saturday, September 11 and Sunday, September 12.
The swim uses spring-fed Lake Sunova, which stays clean and tends to warm into September with water temperatures commonly in the 21–24 C range. Wetsuits are recommended for the Olympic and Sprint swim distances. The transition area is treed and located adjacent to the swim and bike zones.
Bike routes roll through low-traffic farmland on shared roads; participants must follow safe riding practices. Run courses use rolling, quiet roads south of the resort. Parking is staged about 150–200 m from the venue at the Northern Star Equestrian Farm with signs directing vehicles. Lakeside Resort charges a spectator fee of $8 with a portion given to the local church. Dogs are not allowed on resort property. Drivers are asked to respect the 50 km/h limit on Sunova Crescent.
