News:

NEW RACE DAY PROCESS - VERY IMPORTANT!  Please read the update here

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED - We still need volunteers for race day.  Please email us if you can help.

MANDATORY HELMET CHECK - Based on feedback from Triathlon BC last year, mandatory helmet checks are being done this year. Click here for a checklist and some safety information.  We strongly encourage you to go to your local bike shop prior to the pre-race meeting to make sure that you have a helmet in good condition that fits you properly. We will be inspecting helmets at the pre-race meeting Saturday night and at body marking Sunday morning. You MUST have a helmet check sticker distributed by us in order to participate this year. Stickers must be shown before you can put your bike in transition.

ATHLETES ONLY IN TRANSITION AREA - To meet the Triathlon BC requirement for a secure transition area, only athletes, transition area volunteers, and TriBC officials will be allowed in the transition area for setup, during the race, and for removing equipment after the race.  No parents are allowed in the transition area.

SPECIAL SWIM TRAINING  - Offered by the Squamish Pirates Swim Club for four Fridays starting March 30.  See the Pirates website for more information.

NEW RACE DIRECTOR  - Welcome to Mike Hedberg!

NEW FINISH LINE  - Finish line has moved from the skate bowl.  The finish will now be in the parking lot between the soccer fields and the transition area.  New maps are posted here.

NEW SPONSORS  - We couldn't do it without you !!! -- Huge thanks to our returning and new sponsors....check out our Sponsors Page for more information.  Please support these very generous organizations.

 

 A few notes about registration:

  • It is a Triathlon Canada / Kids of Steel rule that there is no "racing up" - athletes MUST race in the category determined by their age as at December 31.
  • All athletes on a relay team must be in the same age division.  Boys, girls and mixed relay teams are welcome!
  • If you are registering a relay team, please register all members at the same time and choose "Relay Team (3 Persons)" or "Relay Team (2 persons)" and not the Individual category.  All relay legs must be accounted for in the registration, i.e., on a two person team, one person MUST be signed up to do two legs.
  • Karelo now accepts Interac payment as well as credit cards. Payment is secure, convenient and immediate. Your bank account or web banking login information is not made available to Karelo. Currently, RBC Royal Bank, Scotiabank, TD Bank & Bank of Montreal are participating in this service  Click here for more information.
