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. These are the distances we have in Peace River.
​
Getting into endurance sports - Olympic distance is double a sprint, half Ironman 4x sprint and full Ironman 8x a sprint (approximately)
​
Want to participate but don't like all 3 sports? Sign up with friends for a relay!
​
Kids of Steel
​
The Kids of Steel program is a great way to get kids active. Doing 3 different sports helps balance growing muscles. Participation in sport helps build confidence and promotes lifelong physical fitness in youth.
​
The race course for kids 11 and under will be totally separate from traffic.
​
An adult can support young children in the pool, in transition and on the course.​
​
Floatation aids (eg life jackets and flutter boards) are encouraged if needed​ as are training wheels / balance bikes. Helmets are mandatory for all ages.
​
We had 46 children participate with 25 sponsored spots in 2026 and would love to have even more in future years!
