Early Bird Triathlon & Run
About the Event
Let the Multi-Sport season begin:
Let's kickstart the racing season! Turn your training into reality at the earliest 2025 triathlon and duathlon in Ontario!
This course is on Colonel By Drive, giving you a great view of the Rideau Canal, Carleton University, Dows Lake, and Lansdowne. Plus, it's the only in-pool triathlon in the region, which gives you a chance to do a triathlon without the open water swim.
