Event overview

The Winterlude Triathlon takes place in Ottawa on February 1, 2026. The race is part of the Winterlude Festival and has been held since 1984. It is a winter multisport event that combines skating, running, and cross-country skiing in a single race. The event uses local venues: skating on the Rideau Canal, a 5K run from Dow's Lake to the Terry Fox Athletic Facility, and a 6K ski at Mooney's Bay finishing at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility. The race uses a mass start format and the first athlete to the finish line is the winner.
