Melmerby Triathlon 2026
The Melmerby Triathlon takes place along the Northumberland Shore at Melmerby Beach Provincial Park in Pictou County, Nova Scotia. This multi-sport event offers several formats for individual participants and teams of two or three members.
The following distances are available:
- Try-A-Tri: 200 m swim, 10 km bike, 2 km run (not timed).
- Super Sprint: 200 m swim, 10 km bike, 2 km run (timed).
- Sprint: 750 m swim, 20 km bike, 5 km run.
- Olympic Distance: 1,500 m swim, 40 km bike, 10 km run.
The swimming portion is organized as a rectangular loop course running parallel to the shore. The cycling segment for all events follows an out-and-back route. The run is a flat course that utilizes the beach road and shaded trails.
Registered participants receive a race kit including a bib, swim cap, and a finisher medal. Results are professionally timed by Atlantic Chip for all events except the Try-A-Tri. Amenities include free on-site parking near the transition area and post-race refreshments. For safety reasons, the transition area remains closed to participants until all bikes are re-racked, typically around midday. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
