Subaru Women’s Triathlon Festival
The Subaru Women’s Triathlon Festival takes place on Saturday, August 8, 2026 at Nelles Beach Park in Grimsby, Ontario. The event offers two women’s race formats with age group wave starts and charity partnerships.
- 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 occurs in Lake Ontario as a point to point course parallel to the shore; athletes can touch bottom and may walk along the shore to the start. The bike course follows Lake Street onto the North Service Road, is largely flat and is an out and back that uses the Niagara waterfront trail system. The run uses local roads and sidewalks in the residential lakeside area and is mostly flat.
Swim starts are arranged by age group using the age on 12/31/2026 for category assignment. Packet pick up must be done in person on race day and requires photo ID; Triathlon Ontario annual members must show membership or obtain a one day permit. Wetsuits are permitted if water temperature is below 24 C; the decision is made on race day.
Parking is located off Lake Street at the corner of Baker Road and Lake Street; there is no parking at the race site and the site is 430 meters from the parking area. Age group awards are presented to the top three finishers in each category and all Try A Tri finishers receive a custom finisher medal. FinisherPix is the official photo service. Entry refunds are allowed for medical reasons only with a medical note, with 50 percent refunded up to two weeks before the event and no refunds within two weeks of the event. The festival partners with charities including the Canadian Cancer Society and McNally House Hospice. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
