– Multisport Canada’s Bracebridge to have two automatic qualification spots for each duathlon distance for the 2016 ITU World Championships –

April 9, 2015 – Triathlon Ontario, the recognized Provincial Governing Body of Multisport in Ontario, announced that MSC Bracebridge will host the Sprint Duathlon and International Distance Duathlon Provincial Championships on August 8 & 9, 2015.

In addition to being named host of the Provincial Championships, the event will also serve as a National Qualifier and will have two automatic qualifying spots per age group for each of the two Duathlon distances for the 2016 ITU World Duathon Championships. The site of the 2016 ITU World Duathlon Championships has yet to be announced.

For those duathletes looking to qualify for World Championships but do not finish in the top two in their age group, there is still a very good chance of claiming an extra spot at a later date.
