Triathlon Manitoba

Some race to compete.

Some race to challenge themselves.

Some race for the community, the friendships, and the memories made along the way.

Whatever brings you to the start line, every athlete has a story worth celebrating.

What's your reason for racing?

You made it to the end of another week and that feeling of accomplishment is pretty similar to crossing a finish line.

But if you're looking for the real thing, we've got plenty of opportunities waiting for you!

Our race calendar is packed with events for all ages and abilities, whether you're tackling your first race, chasing a personal best, or just looking to have fun with friends and family.

The only question is: have you been practicing your finish-line celebration?

Check out our upcoming events and start planning your next finish-line moment!

That's a Wrap on the Birds Hill Triathlon Weekend!

What an incredible weekend of racing, determination, and community spirit at Birds Hill Provincial Park.

While circumstances beyond our control meant a last-minute change from triathlon to duathlon, athletes showed up ready to race, adapt, and give it their all. From first-timers to seasoned competitors, everyone embraced the challenge and helped make the weekend a success.

Congratulations to all of our participants, including the Kids of Steel athletes, who crossed the finish line with smiles, grit, and plenty of memorable moments along the way.

A huge thank you goes out to our race directors, organizing committee, volunteers, officials, sponsors, medical staff, and supporters. Events like this simply wouldn't happen without the countless hours contributed by so many dedicated people behind the scenes.

Thank you as well to our athletes and families for your flexibility, understanding, and positive attitude throughout the weekend. Your support of local multisport events is what keeps our community thriving.

We hope you enjoyed the weekend as much as we did. Recover well, celebrate your accomplishments, and we'll see you at the next start line!

Open Water Swim Clinic Update!

We've made a change to the date and location of our upcoming Open Water Swim Clinic, and there's still room for more athletes to join us!

St. Malo Provincial Park

Whether you're preparing for your first triathlon or looking to build confidence in open water, this clinic is a great opportunity to practice key race-day skills with experienced coaches in a supportive environment.

What we'll cover:
✅ Wetsuit tips and tricks
✅ Open water swim starts
✅ Sighting and buoy turns

If you've been thinking about giving open water swimming a try, this is the perfect chance to build confidence before race day.

Birds Hill Triathlon is almost here! As you make your final race preparations, don't forget one of the most important parts of race day: knowing the rules.

A quick review of the rules can help you avoid unnecessary penalties and ensure a safe, fair, and enjoyable race for everyone on course. Some of the most common infractions include:

✅ Fastening your helmet before touching your bike
✅ Not riding your bike in transition
✅ Mounting and dismounting only at the designated lines
✅ Passing safely and avoiding drafting

Whether you're racing your first triathlon or your fiftieth, a refresher is always a good idea. Take a few minutes before race day to review the rules and athlete information package so you can focus on what matters most: having a great race!

Good luck to everyone racing at Birds Hill this weekend. We can't wait to see you at the start line!

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Due to low water levels and the absence of water quality testing, the Birds Hill Triathlon will be held as a duathlon-only event this weekend. As a result, all race categories will be converted to a duathlon format.

We understand this news may be disappointing for many athletes. However, this decision was made with participant safety and fair competition as our top priorities.

We appreciate everyone's understanding, flexibility, and continued support of our local racing community. We're looking forward to welcoming you to the start line and delivering a fantastic race experience this weekend.

Congratulations, Just Tri It!

Last week, members of the Just Tri It program crossed the finish line of their very first multisport event at the Duathlon in the Park Series!

Over the past several weeks, these athletes have been learning the fundamentals of training, racing, transitions, and what it means to be part of the incredible triathlon community. Race day was an opportunity to put those skills into practice, and they did an amazing job.

From pre-race nerves to crossing the finish line with smiles and a sense of accomplishment, every athlete should be proud of what they achieved. Taking on your first multisport race is a big milestone, and we're excited to see where your journey takes you next.

Congratulations to all of the Just Tri It participants, coaches, mentors, and supporters who helped make this experience possible. The first race is always one to remember!

Welcome to the multisport community - we can't wait to see you at future races!

That's a Wrap on the May Duathlon in the Park Series.

A huge thank you to all the athletes who came out over the past month to run, ride, and challenge themselves. From first-time duathletes to experienced competitors, it was incredible to see so many people pushing their limits and supporting one another.

We'd also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our volunteers, officials, sponsors, and supporters. Your time and dedication are what make events like these possible.

Congratulations to all of our participants, and a special shoutout to the athletes who secured qualification spots for the 2027 Multisport World Championships in Edmonton! We can't wait to see Manitobans represent Team Canada on home soil next year.

Whether you were chasing a podium, a personal best, or simply enjoying the experience, you helped make this series a success.
