The Canadian Triathlon & Run
The Canadian Triathlon & Run is a multisport event held at Mooney's Bay in Ottawa with transition and finish inside the Terry Fox Athletic Facility at 2960 Riverside Dr. The race course uses Colonel By Drive and passes the Rideau Canal, Carleton University, Dows Lake, and Lansdowne. The bike course is closed to traffic.
Race options include triathlons, duathlons, swim-bike events, and standalone runs. Relay entries allow two or three people to share the swim, bike and run legs; one person may register on behalf of the team.
Included with registration are professional timing, race photography, a personalized bib, a Somersault swim cap, a free virtual bike fit, on-course nutrition, podium prizes for the top three male, female and non-binary finishers in each event, post-race massage, chiro and physio services, and post-race snacks.
Cutoff rules state that all athletes must complete the bike portion by noon and finish their race by 4 pm. Important registration deadlines include the shirt deadline on July 29 and the medal deadline on August 7; online registration closes September 3 or when the race sells out.
