About the race
The Wasaga Beach Triathlon and Duathlon takes place on Saturday August 28th at the Wasaga Beach Municipal Picnic Area (154 Mosley St, Wasaga Beach, ON). The event uses the beach and nearby roads for swim, bike and run courses, with registration, food, awards and the finish area located by Wasaga Beach.
Highlights include flat and fast courses and a new race site. Included for participants are a locally sourced custom finisher’s medal, a race-specific T-shirt in a casual sport cut, professional timing by Sportstats, post-event food, draw prizes, and age-group awards. Multi-race, U23 (10%) and U18 (20%) discounts are offered.
Swim: open-water swims take place in Georgian Bay from Wasaga Beach; waves are expected and water temperatures tend to be 20–23C, so wetsuits will very likely be optional.
Bike: Sprint and Olympic bike routes travel east into rural areas and toward the Tiny Marsh on shared roads; riders must follow safe riding practices.
Run: both Sprint and Olympic runs head west past Park Two and Park Three along Mosley St and Shore Lane; the Olympic run completes a second loop before returning to the race site.
Distances include:
- Triathlon : Sprint: 750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run
- Duathlon: 5km run, 20km bike, 2.5km run
- Triathlon : Olympic: 1500m swim, 40km bike, 10km run
- Swim-Bike: 1500m swim, 40km bike
Registration notes: register by August 8 for the event-logo T-shirt and by August 22 for a personalized bib; registration closes August 26. Packet pick-up is available the day before and on race morning at the Wasaga Beach Municipal Picnic Area. Start waves are assigned by projected finishing time or by age for some swim-bike events; the Sprint Duathlon features starts from the finish line.
