Course and event details
The swim course is a rectangle set close to shore with the long sides parallel to the beach. The swim is a loop course - Sprint competitors complete one loop, Olympic competitors complete two loops, and the Try-A-Tri and Super Sprint use a partial loop. All bike courses are out and back. The run follows the beach road and nearby trails; the Sprint is one loop, the Olympic two loops, and the Try-A-Tri/Super Sprint is 1 km out and 1 km back. The run is described as flat and the trails provide full shade.
Race kits include race bibs, a swim cap, a finishing medal, chip timing, free race photos, and on-site parking near the transition area. Post-race refreshments from Subway and Tim Horton's are provided. The transition area will remain closed until all bikes are re-racked.
