About the race
The Canadian Triathlon & Run is Somersault's marquee multisport event in Ottawa. Held at Mooney's Bay, the course threads along Colonel By Drive with views of the Rideau Canal, Carleton University, Dows Lake and Lansdowne, and finishes inside the Terry Fox Facility. The event offers a broad menu of options—from Iron 113 (1900 m swim, 90 km bike, 21.1 km run) to sprint triathlon, duathlon, swim-cycle, 5K and 10K runs—totaling 113 variations.
Highlights include a bike course closed to traffic, a dramatic finish on the Terry Fox Track, on-course nutrition, professional timing, race photography, and post-race massages. Pre-race resources and maps are available, fostering a welcoming, home‑team atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
