On June 11, 2022 we are brining an Off Road Youth Triathlon to Whistler!
There hasn’t been much opportunity for kids and young adults to race these past few years. XTERRA Youth Off-Road Triathlon is something that the majority of kids in the Sea to Sky will have mountain bikes (non suspension is fine) for and they will have the fitness to successfully finish, though the race will challenge them in a fun way and they can be proud of accomplishing.
We have courses for 6-7 year olds, 8-11 year olds and 12-15 year olds with age group categories of 6-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, 14-15.
With registration kids will get:
A big thanks to Northshore Subaru who are helping out with the kids race. Subaru have been a massive supporter of Triathlon in Canada for over 30 years.
6-7 year olds will do a 25m swim (or wade for those uncomfortable with swimming) as this age group will swim along the beach. They will then bike 2km around lost lake before heading off for a 1km trail run.
*A parent will be able to accompany their child in this age category.
The 6-7 y/o bike goes in a clockwise direction of the Lost Lake Loop. Beach cut > Lost Lake loop
Beach cut > Lost Lake loop > Nature trail > Beach cut > Finish
The 8-11 year olds will do 1 lap of the swim course (100m) before heading out for a 4.3km bike on both double wide green trails and blue single track trails. There are no black trails on the course. After finishing the bike they will head out on a 2km trail run, again using a mix of double wide green trails and blue single track trails.

The 2022 XTERRA Whistler is the BC Cross Triathlon Championships & will be a qualifying event for both the XTERRA World Championships in Lake Molveno, Trentino, Italy on October 1-2, 2022 and the 2023 ITU World Championships in Ibiza, Spain.
With stunning lakes, globally renowned mountain biking and some of the best trail running around, it just seemed obvious to host an off road triathlon in this world class destination!
