Are you ready for some winter triathlon fun? Muskoka’s lakes in winter might be okay for a quick Polar Bear Dip, but a triathlon swim is out of the question. Enter TriMuskoka’s inaugural Winter Indoor Triathlon Classic. Following on the success of the club’s annual TriMuskokan, the Classic provides a fun way to stay motivated, active, and in tri mindset – or to get a feel for one if you haven’t tried before – even in the cold, dark depths of February.

The Classic is a time-based event, rather than a distance event. There will be a staggered start with participants first swimming 15 minutes in the Centennial Pool (two swimmers per lane), then riding for 30 minutes on a stationary bike, and finally running or walking for 20 minutes on the Canada Summit Centre’s indoor track, with a few stair segments thrown in to simulate Muskoka’s hills. There are 5-minute transition periods between each leg of the race. The total distance you cover will be logged by volunteers to determine who makes it to the podium.

At the end of the day, participants are invited to a family fun day – included in their registration fee – at Ontario Pioneer Camp in Port Sydney for winter activities like tubing, broomball, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing, a home-cooked dinner, and an awards celebration. Family members who aren’t racing can join in the fun for just $10.
