Registration for the 2024 Eastlink Centre Triathalon has opened up ahead of the event taking place on July 7th.
This year, a new category for children ages five and under is available among adult categories, and youth “Kids of Steel” categories for kids ages six through thirteen. Additionally, the event was recently awarded the Triathalon Alberta 2024 Supersprint Provincial Championships for athletes ages 14 and older.
According to the city, the championship provides a platform for the top athletes in the province to show off their abilities in a competitive setting against the most elite athletes from across Alberta.
Last year’s event saw 292 registered competitors and the city says this year is aiming for 400 participants.
The event is a sanctioned one through Triathalon Alberta, and as a result, all athletes must have a Triathalon Alberta membership to participate. Day memberships cost $20 for adults and $15 per athlete in a team.
Categories vary in price at $50 for kids between six and thirteen, and up to $120 per team in the adult categories, and early bird pricing is available until May 15th for adult racers. Interested residents can register online through the city’s website.
