Victoria hosts inaugural Triathlon Canada Super Sprint National Championships
Triathlon Canada hosted its inaugural Super Sprint and Mixed Relay National Championships in Victoria on August 22 and 23. The two-day event, held at Clover Point and along Dallas Road, welcomed 92 elite athletes from across the country.
The super sprint format consisted of a 300-metre ocean swim, a 9.5-kilometre bike course, and a 3.5-kilometre run. This shorter format was designed to allow development athletes, aged 16 to 23, to compete multiple times and gain head-to-head racing experience.
Rachel Macatee, interim CEO of Triathlon Canada, noted that the event provided a platform for young athletes to compete against top national talent. Individual races were held on Saturday, followed by mixed relays on Sunday morning.
