Description

LESS THAN 40 SPOTS REMAIN! 

One of the oldest triathlons in Canada:

Started in 1982, the National Captial Triathlon is one of the oldest, if not THE oldest triathlon in Canada. Here's your chance to be part of this historic event.

Be the first to see this NEW course for 2023. Starting at Woodlands Beach, in Long Sault, you'll have shallow waters for your swim, a pristine parkway to bike on as you island hop your way through the course, and a shaded park run on packed trails to finish off the event. 

Participants love:

  • A shallow swim course, making the water just a little bit warmer.
  • The bike course is limited to local traffic only. 
  • A scenic run course through Woodlands Beach, and a scenic view throughout the entire race. 

Included in your registration is:

  • Bragging rights!
  • A FREE virtual bike fit from MyVeloFit.
  • A personalized race bib.
  • A Somersault swim cap from ROCS/Zone3sports.
  • Professional timing from Sportstats.
  • On-course nutrition from F2C.
  • Race Photography from FinisherPix.
  • Post-Race snacks.
  • Podium prizes provided by Crank Coffee Co for the top 3 men, women, and non-binary athletes in each race.
  • Memories that you won't soon forget.

Important Deadlines:

  • Medal Deadline - May 17th. We keep our prices low and make the finisher's medal an optional add-on. If you want to commemorate this achievement with a finisher's medal, make sure to register before May 17th and add the medal to your order.
  • Shirt Deadline - May 17th. If you would like to pick up your souvenir shirt during bib pick-up or race day, it must be ordered before May 17th.
