Subaru Women’s Triathlon Festival
The Subaru Women’s Triathlon Festival takes place on August 8, 2026 at Nelles Beach Park in Grimsby. The event offers two women’s race formats: Try A Tri and Sprint.
- Try A Tri: 375 m swim / 10 km bike / 2.5 km run
- Sprint: 500 m swim / 20 km bike / 5 km run
The swim is held in Lake Ontario as a point to point course parallel to the shore; athletes can touch the bottom and may walk along the shore to the start. The bike route follows Lake Street onto the North Service Road, is described as flat, and is an out and back with a single turn at the turnaround. The run uses residential roads and sidewalks by the lake and is mostly flat. Swim starts are organized in waves by age group and results use age as of 12/31/2026.
Age group awards are given to the top three finishers in each category and all finishers receive a custom finisher medal. Wetsuits are allowed if water temperature is below 24 C; the decision is made on race day. For safety, strollers, inline skates, rollerblades, headphones and dogs are not allowed on course.
Packet pickup must be done in person with photo ID; Triathlon Ontario annual members must also show their membership card or athletes must purchase a one day permit. The refund policy allows refunds for medical reasons only with a medical note, 50% refunded up to two weeks before the event, and no refunds within two weeks of the event. FinisherPix is the official photo service and will have photographers at swim exit, on course and at the finish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
