All athletes are welcome whether it is your first triathlon race, you are en route to Ironman, or you want to compete on a team, come out and enjoy racing in the spectacular scenery of the Columbia Valley. The swim takes place in Lake Windermere, followed by an out and back cycle route. The run course is a single loop for both the “Sprint” and “Olympic” competitors. Cash prizes for Olympic individuals!! (see the “Race Features” page for more details).
The venue for the Young Hearts Triathlon is Kinsmen Beach and the immediate area locally known as Fort Point. The race course is safe and contained with only one access and exit point in a quiet neighborhood with very light vehicular traffic. There are six age categories (4-5, 6-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, and 14-15). The course distances will not exceed distances as set out by Triathlon Canada for KOS events and will be made up by repeating the run & cycle distances. The Young Hearts Triathlon is sanctioned by Triathlon British Columbia
