The 5th annual Canmore Triathlon and Duathlon will once again be returning to the Canmore Nordic Centre in August of 2012. Developed for the 1988 Winter Olympic Games, Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park is a world-class facility set amongst an incredible back drop of the Rocky Mountains. In 2005 the Centre was significantly renovated to re-establish itself as one of the finest multisport facilities in the World.
The Olympic Distance Triathlon begins with a 1500m swim in Canmore's Quarry Lake followed a 40km cycle leg on the breathtaking Three Sisters Parkway and concludes with a paved 10km run at the Canmore Nordic Centre. The Sprint distance triathlon includes a 500m swim, 20km cycle and 5km run utilizing the same courses as the Olympic Distance event.
The Full Distance Duathlon begins with a 3.5km trail run in the vicinity of Quarry Lake Park followed by a 40km cycle leg and 10km run. The Sprint Distance Duathlon includes a 3km trail run, 20km cycle and 5km run. The Duathlon cycle and run routes utilize the same courses as the Triathlon event.
