The Subaru Vancouver International Triathlon is a popular, gruelling, and entirely fantastic annual race that takes place in beautiful Vancouver. Named one of the “Top 10 urban Triathlons on the Planet,” this race draws around 700 participants and thousands of spectators.  There are three competition distances: the Sprint distance is the shortest, the Half-Ironman distance is the longest, and the Olympic distance is right in the middle. Times for the Olympic distance typically range between 2-4 hours.

In case you are curious about where we will be racing (or want to find the best spot to cheer!), here are links to maps of the respective legs of the race:
