to the 24th annual Riding Mountain Triathlon. Once again Riding Mountain National Park will play host to the largest multi-sport event in Manitoba/Saskatchewan. On August 15, 2009 over 300 athletes will participate in a number of Triathlon/Duathlon events. Come for a few days or better yet make it a vacation in what one of our athletes calls “… one of Canada’s best-kept-secret summer vacation destinations! In a picturesque setting not spoiled by touristy development!”

We strive to do our best to be well organized and deliver a unique, first class event to our athletes. Riding Mountain National Park was made for a Triathlon/Duathlon. It is without question among the most scenic tri courses on the prairies. Starting with the bracing swim in the deep spring-fed lake, onto the rolling bike course through boreal forest and ending with a rewarding run along the lake shore path one is challenged yet rewarded throughout. If the RMTri is famous for one thing it is the enthusiastic support of the local community. Regardless if you’re a seasoned elite or a first time Kids of Steel, the Clear Lake community comes out in full force to make sure your time at "their park" is one to remember.

Riding Mountain has lots of places to stay ranging from the simplicity of tenting all the way through to luxury cabins. So make plans to join us this year, we know you will pleasantly surprised.

A new season …
