Bike. Run.\n\nExperience Vancouver’s most iconic triathlon in the heart of Stanley Park.\nCelebrating 24 years of triathlon excellence\, the Vancouver Triathlon continues to inspire athletes of all levels to take on an unforgettable challenge surrounded by ocean views\, forested roads\, and the city’s vibrant energy. \nVIEW THE 2026 EVENT GUIDE HERE\n \n REGISTER NOW-FEW SPOTS REMAIN\n \nMonday September 7\, 2026\nDISTANCES\nStandard:  1500m Swim\, 38km Bike\, 10km Run \nSprint:  750m Swim\, 19km Bike\, 5km Run \nTri it: 300m Swim\, 9km Bike\, 2.5km Run \nRelay Teams – Standard & Sprint \n Across Western Canada\, MultiSportsCanada brings together endurance events that feel as much like community gatherings as competitions\, from triathlons on lakefront courses to half marathons\, cycling fondos\, and local running races. Athletes line up beside first-time participants\, and the atmosphere often shifts from quiet focus to shared celebration by the finish chute. That blend of stamina and spectacle has a curious parallel in the digital world\, where bright\, fast-moving entertainment is built around the same sense of anticipation. In that space\, sweet bonanza australia has become a recognizable example of how playful design and quick outcomes can hold attention without much explanation. Its candy-colored style and rapid rhythm echo the kind of energy seen at a crowded race start\, where momentum matters and each moment feels loaded with possibility. Even so\, the appeal is still rooted in the same human habit that keeps people returning to spring races and summer triathlons: the pull of an event that is simple to enter\, but never entirely predictable. \n7:00am Start\nREGISTRATION\n\n\n\nSATURDAY RACES: \n \n VANCOUVER AQUATHLON\n \n \n SWIM SECOND BEACH\n \n*Register EARLY!  Fees increase on December 1\, April 1\, August 1…or when sold out!\n\nFees DO NOT include GST or online transaction fees\nENTRIES RECIEVED ON/AFTER August 9 ARE NOT GUARANTEED TSHIRTS OR SIZING.\n\nVIEW OUR REGISTRATION\, CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY HERE\nTRI BC Membership & Day Insurance Fees\nTo participate in the Vancouver Triathlon\, all athletes must have valid race-day or annual insurance through a provincial triathlon association(Triathlon BC\, Alberta Triathlon\, Triathlon Saskatchewan\, etc.). \n✅ If You’re a Member\n\n\n\n\nEnter your valid annual membership number when registering.  Confirm your number here \n\n\nYour membership provides full race-day insurance coverage. \n\n\n\n\n🚫 If You’re Not a Member\nYou must purchase a 1-Day TriBC Membership to ensure insurance coverage for race day.Confirm your day membership here \n\n\nWe will cross-reference all membership numbers prior to event day. \nIf an invalid number is entered\, you will be required to: \n\n\nProvide proof of membership \n\n\nPay the 1-Day TriBC Membership fee prior to race day \n\n\n\n\n\nNot a member yet?Join as an Annual TriBC Member to enjoy coverage and benefits year-round. \n👉 Become an Annual Member of TriBC \n👉 Purchase a 1-Day Membership \n \nNEW FOR 2026!  \nDesigned for beginners\, this program includes a simple training plan and guidance to help you go from curious to confident on race day. \n\n \n FIND OUT MORE\n \nEVENT SCHEDULE\n  \n\nPackage Pickup\nFriday\, September 4:4:00 p.m.–7:00 p.m. at The Right Shoe(1601 W 4th Avenue\, Vancouver) \nSaturday\, September 5:10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. at The Right Shoe(1601 W 4th Avenue\, Vancouver) \nSunday\, September 6:1:00 p.m.–6:00 p.m. at Stanley Park\, Second Beach \nAthletes must drop off their bikes on Sunday.

It was my first triathlon\, and training for it improved my enjoyment of Vancouver’s summer. I’ve never spent so much time in Stanley park or at Second Beach. I saw so many more sunsets than I normally would. And the event was a thrill. I loved every moment of it. Thanks so much.

The ‘baton’ (timing chip) is passed between each team member in transition. Teams are a great way to take on a triathlon with friends or family.  Same sex\, or mixed\, race in one category. \n \n \n \n OPEN WATER SWIM \n \n \n \n 750M\, 1500M\, 3000M \nNOTE: the course will be swum in a clockwise direction. \n\nThe 3km course consists of four (4) laps around the 750m loop. Swimmers keep buoys on their right. Swimmers will exit the water and run over the timing pad on shore to get their finish time. Swimmers will be responsible for counting their own laps.  \n\n\nThe 1.5 km course consists of two (2) laps around the orange buoys.  \nAll races will start in waist deep water\, just south of the docks.\n\n\nThe starting area is very wide and you will seed yourself according to your swimming ability. \n\n\nIt’s hard to predict the water temperature on race day\, but it has hovered within a few degrees of 19 Celsius recently. The temperature will vary throughout the course as well. We will provide the water temperature to swimmers that morning.\n\n\nIt is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you allow time in the morning for a proper warm-up IN THE WATER. This greatly reduces the occurrence of panic and shock in the water and will help you have a successful swim.\n\n\nIf you anticipate a longer swim time\, or are bothered by cooler temperatures\, it is suggested that you wear two swim caps (a neoprene cap under your race cap provides the best insulation\, but a silicone one will help as well).\n\n\nIf at any time during the swim you think you may require aid\, stop and raise your arm to get the attention of the swim course safety team. You may hang on to one of the support boats if you need to. You will NOT be disqualified as long as the boat doesn’t provide propulsion. The boat staff will let you know if they intend to move you off the course. \nIf you wish to stop racing at any point throughout the event\, please be sure to notify an official. It becomes a safety concern if you do not\, as our safety teams will be looking for you on the course.\n \n \n \n \n KIDS OF STEEL \n \n \n \n REMINDERS: \n\nWhen arriving for checkin\, please be aware that the adults will be racing!  Keep your heads up at all times when accessing the site.\nOne parent can help one child in transition for those ages 7&Under.\nFloatation devices are allowed for age 7&Under and 8-9. \nParents are able to assist in the water\, but note – the water is deep and you must assist other children in the water as well\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE SWIM \n\n\nSWIM DISTANCE \n\n\nCOURSE DETAILS \n\n\n\n\n7&Under (KOS) \n\n\n50m \n\n\n** FLOATATION DEVICES & PARENTAL SUPPORT ARE WELCOMEDFrom the start area\, you will swim directly across the dock-line to the boatramp exit. \n\n\n\n\n8-9(KOS) \n\n\n100m \n\n\n** FLOATATION DEVICES & PARENTAL SUPPORT ARE WELCOMEDFrom the 8-9yr start area\, you will swim directly across to bouy #1 then turn Left to the dock. \n\n\n\n\n10-11(KOS) \n\n\n150m \n\n\nFrom the start area\, you will swim directly across to bouy #5 then return to the dock. \n\n\n\n\n12-13(KOS) \n\n150m\nFrom the start area\, you will swim directly across to bouy #5 then return to the dock.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE BIKE \n\n\nBIKE DISTANCE \n\n\nCOURSE DETAILS \n\n\n\n\n7&Under (KOS) \n\n\n800m \n\n\nThe bike heads East on Chaparral Dr SE.

A good idea is to set up your area\, leaving transition and then walk towards your bike when coming from the pool.*NOTE: Transition will remain open once the race starts\, but please stay next to your bike to avoid collisions with athletes that are currently racing.**NOTE: Please have only what you will be racing with placed by your bike. No large bags\, buckets or bins are allowed next to your bike \n TEAM EVENTSSTANDARD AND SPRINT DISTANCE. The concept is simple: 1 person swims\, 1 person bikes and 1 person runs.
