Dust Off Your Gear: Alberta's Summer Triathlon Season Begins

After a long winter, the summer racing season is upon us! We're so excited to bring triathletes of all levels together at our events this summer, whether you are a first-time participant to a seasoned competitor. This summer's racing calendar promises a dynamic mixture of kids, draft legal, cross triathlon, sprint to long distance triathlon events. We will also have a significant number of world championship qualifying events for the 2027 Multisport World Championships that will be held in Edmonton, Alberta!

Having the 2027 Multisport World Championships right here in our own backyard is a monumental honor, and this summer provides the perfect opportunity to start building your pathway to qualification. With Edmonton’s beautiful river valley and world-class facilities preparing to host the World Championships, local athletes have a unique chance to secure a home-field advantage. Whether you are aiming for a spot on Team Canada or just looking to set a new personal best, the energy this season is going to be electric.

"The racing season brings the whole community together and whether an athlete is chasing a podium finish at our regional western canadian series races or crossing the finish line for the first time, every athlete has a story worth celebrating", said Sebastian Porten, Executive Director of Triathlon Alberta.

To make these inspiring stories happen, we rely on the incredible dedication of our local clubs, coaches, and volunteers. Their tireless support at transition zones, aid stations, and finish lines ensures that race day is a safe and unforgettable experience for everyone. As you dust off your bike, lace up your running shoes, and get back into the open water, remember that you are part of a vibrant, supportive network that is cheering you on every step of the way.
