By bike, by water and on two feet, some of the most talented triathletes in the province will be swarming the Muskoka Wharf in Gravenhurst this weekend.
Hosted at the Muskoka Wharf Sports Fields and featuring a jump from the iconic Muskoka Steamships, Gravenhurst has been one of the most sought-after events in the MultiSport Canada Triathlon Series for over 10 years. Features Olympic Triathlon, Olympic Duathlon, Sprint Triathlon and Sprint Duathlon options.
Motorists can expect to see busier than usual local roads. Please watch for pedestrians and cyclists.
From Multisports Canada:
Swim Course
After your JUMP into Lake Muskoka, the Swim Course has plenty of long straight sections with the sun at your back. As the event is in June, wetsuits are recommended as the temperatures are projected to be in the 19C-21C range (66-70F).
Bike Course
After departing the Muskoka Wharf, you’ll stay on Rd. 169 all the way out-&-back to the turn-around. Rd 169 has long steady grades, paved shoulders that vary in width, as well as excellent sightlines for cyclists and motorists alike. This is SHARED ROAD Course, so be sure to follow all safe riding practices.
Run Course
After following the pathways in the Muskoka Wharf Sports Park out to North Muldrew Lake Rd, the hills begin. Regarded as one of the more challenging in the Series, the Run Course climbs and descends throughout its length. This is a SHARED ROAD Course, so participants will run facing traffic at all times.
