Triathlon Ontario’s signature event, the 2026 Provincial Championships will be held on September 5th once again at the International Flatwater Centre in Welland.
The format for the races are Super Sprints. There is both a strategic and logistic reason for this versus Sprint or other distances. From a strategic perspective, short fast racing promotes the development of tactics, fast transitions, speed and recovery (for those doing two heats). These are areas that both Triathlon Ontario and Triathlon Canada have identified as gaps in development in our national talent pool. From a logistic point of view, having a shorter course allows for a smaller footprint, allowing for an excellent spectator experience, and providing an opportunity for relays, which we are the only event in the province to provide.
The Championships offer multiple exciting racing opportunities in a draft legal Super Sprint format.
Elite/U23 Cup Series Finale & Provincial Championships
Junior Cup Series Finale & Provincial Championships
Youth Cup (14-15) Series Finale, Provincial Championships and Ontario Summer Games Qualifier- Age Group Super Sprint Provincial Championships
