Peace River
TriRiver Triathlon

We love Peace River.

We love Triathlon.

Our mission is to bring our two loves together again. After a 5 year hiatus we want to bring multisport back to the Peace Region.

Join us in August, 2026 to breathe life back into the Peace River TriRiver Triathlon.

Race formats will include Sprint, Team Sprint, Try-a-Tri and Kids of Steel.

We are friendly in the Peace Region! Families and beginners are welcome!

About Triathlon

Triathlon was developed in the 1970s and became an olympic sport in 2000.

Triathlon consists of 3 sports - swim, bike and run- performed in a continuous effort at various distances.

On the shorter end are friendly community 'tri-a-trys' and sprint triathlons.

Standard distance is featured in the Olympic Games.

On the extreme end of the endurance spectrum are the half and full Ironman distances.

Kids of Steel

The Kids of Steel program is a great way to introduce kids to triathlon. Doing 3 different sports helps balance their athletic development and muscles as kids grow. Participation in sport helps build confidence and promotes physical fitness in youth.

Parents can support children 5 and under in the pool and on the course.

Parents can help in transition for kids aged 6-7.

Floatation aids (eg life jackets and flutter boards) are encouraged if needed

Adult Race Distances
