Hecla Triathlon
July 18
Organizers are excited to welcome athletes back to Hecla Island for the full Hecla Triathlon experience in 2026.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Winnipeg and Hecla–Grindstone Provincial Park, this race combines fast racing with natural beauty and a relaxed destination‑race atmosphere that keeps athletes coming back year after year.
This race started in 2015 and has continued to grow and evolve each year since, and is home to Manitoba’s only Long Course race. The event is a popular destination race and may also have you feeling like you are somewhere outside of Manitoba. The Hecla Triathlon will not disappoint, with tremendous athlete support to ensure the day goes smoothly!
Why Hecla?
-
The swim course is protected by the marina, guarding from what can be an unpredictable Lake Winnipeg, with only a short run to transition T1.
-
The bike course is flat and fast, lock and load, and keep your eyes open for wildlife!
-
Moving onto the run, you will experience both road and trail, skirting the marina and hugging the lake.
-
This course will provide you both a physically and mentally challenging race, packed with stunning views, showcasing the beauty of the island.
