Great White North Triathlon Long Course
.
2km
The GWN offers a Bike/Run option for athletes not comfortable completing the swim course in 2021.
An open water 2 km swim is held in Hubbles Lake. Allan Beach features a large sandy area for the start and finish. We use a mass start so seed your self appropriately. This is a calm lake and the course is well marked and we will have a large contingent of lifeguards, scuba divers, and kayakers to ensure your safe completion of the first of three disciplines. Volunteers will be on hand to aid in removing wetsuits in preparation for transition on to the bike.
Participants may select to skip the swim this year and simply bike / run the course. The bike start is just outside Transition 1 where we will release athletes in intervals with the other triathletes.
90km
After you head out of Allan Beach Resort you turn right on Hwy 16 and head to Hwy 779 and turn south and head into Stony Plain. Turn right at 44th ave, turn right at 50th st, head past the pavilion and right onto parkland hwy. Take the overpass interchange onto hwy 779 and head north to the turn around 19.5km out, head back to Stony Plain and repeat the out and back. Technical support will be provided on course but make sure you have the appropriate supplies in case of mechanical issues.
