Just Tri It Program
April 14 - June 27
Fun, fitness and friendship!
‘Tri’ something new with a fun and positive group of women. Improve your physical and mental well-being in a social setting while we train together for the St. Malo Triathlon (Try-a-Tri distance) on June 27th, 2026.
The Just Tri-It (JTI) program is an encouraging and supportive group that wants to help you lead a fun, healthy life. Our program is based on the highly successful Saskatoon program that has introduced hundreds of women, just like yourself, to triathlon over the past 20 years. You do not need to be an athlete – you just need the courage to ‘Tri’ it! Not a swimmer, cyclist, or runner? You are perfect for this program. ALL shapes and abilities are welcome. Just bring your positive I’ll Tri It attitude.
Meet new friends or convince your co-worker, friend, sister, or mom to join you. Spots are limited to ensure everyone has lots of support from our coaches – so register early!
This 11-week program runs from April 14th to June 27th and includes:
- Our YMCA Downtown group will swim Sundays 2-3pm. This group will have more coaches on deck and is best suited for novice and intermediate swimmers.
- Our PanAm group will swim with the TriMB swim program on either Monday or Wednesday (participant choice), 8-9pm. This group is best for those looking for stroke refinement and endurance building.
- Both groups will join together in our last 3 weeks for our open water training. Wednesday, June 10, 8-9pm at PanAm Pool, and Monday June 15 & 22, 6:30-7:30pm at Birds Hill Park.
Weekly speaker sessions to keep you motivated and educated along the way
Speaker sessions will generally occur on Thursday, prior to our run sessions, but bike specific talks may be scheduled with those workouts instead.
Speaker talks will be recorded and available to those who miss a session.
