Saskia Says Beginner Triathlon Event in Victoria BC
The event takes place on June 7, 2026 at the Saanich Commonwealth Pool in Victoria, British Columbia. It is a sprint-distance triathlon designed for athletes entering their first triathlon.
Distances
- 500 m pool swim (short course, 25 m)
- 20 km road bike
- 4 km road run
Swimmers are placed into heats based on estimated swim time provided at registration. Transition 1 and Transition 2 share a single zone in the south end of the pool parking lot. Participants leave transition past the mount line for the bike leg and must have helmets on and fastened before exiting transition. After the bike, athletes return to the same transition area before starting the run.
Practical details: non-members must purchase Triathlon BC day-of-race insurance or hold a membership. The event is non-refundable and transfers are not allowed. On-site parking is very limited; a gravel overflow lot is available but restricted. Spectators can use stands for the swim and access points along the course to cheer. The event includes fundraising components supporting the Saanich Fire Fighters' Charitable Foundation and End2end. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
