2025 NCCP Coaching Course
Triathlon Manitoba is hosting an NCCP Community Triathlon Coach course.
Dates & Times: This is a two-day course that includes in-person learning and practical training.
Saturday, November 29: 8:00 am – 5:00 pm (primarily classroom focus on Coaching modules)
Sunday, November 30: 8:00 am – 5:00 pm (Coaching practical lessons)
Membership: 2025 Triathlon Manitoba Membership or membership in your home province is required to register for this course.
Prerequisites: Coaches should complete the following before the course begins:
Complete 3 training modules
– CAC Safe Sport e-learning
– CAC Understanding the Rule of Two e-learning
– NCCP Making Head Way in Sport e-learning (concussion awareness)
Facilitator: Pat Peacock
The NCCP Community Triathlon Coach is the starting point for triathlon coaches, and completion of Parts 1 and 2 is the primary requirement to run a sanctioned club, workout, clinic, or camp by Triathlon Manitoba.
The triathlon coaching pathway has recently been updated, so this is an entirely new course featuring new material and an updated practical component.
The whole course consists of Part 1 and Part 2. Coaches will need to complete both parts to be qualified. Part 1 includes the module “Coaching Beginners and Age Group Triathletes.” Part 2 contains the modules Coaching and Assessing Triathlon Skills and Coaching to Events and is delivered a two-day, in-person course. During Part 2, coaches will lead the mini-activities they planned in Part 1.
The outcomes of the NCCP Community Triathlon Coach program are:
- Make Ethical Decisions
- Provide Support to Athletes in Training
- Plan a Practice
- Analyze Performance
- Support the Competitive Experience
- Design a Sport Program

Race Director Meeting
Triathlon Manitoba’s annual Race Director meeting will take place on Sunday, December 7th at 1:00 pm.
This meeting is intended for existing and aspiring race directors, giving an opportunity to set the calendar for the upcoming season; deliver updates on recent rule changes and discuss ways to strengthen our sport.
If you’re keen to see what the 2026 Race Calendar might look like, here’s what we did in 2025. We expect most will carry over and hope to add a few additional events and programs for newcomers to the sport.
If you’re interested in attending, please contact the office.
January 2026
Intro to Triathlon Swimming
*Sold Out for 2026*
Our most requested program is back for 2026!
The Intro to Triathlon Swim Program is designed to help athletes confidently reach the start line of their first triathlon. This 10-week program focuses on developing stroke technique, fitness, and confidence, guiding participants from simply staying afloat to moving efficiently through the water. By the end of the program, athletes should be ready to transition into the standard TriMB Swim Program or another Masters-level swim group.
Program Details
-
Dates: Monday, January 12 – Wednesday, March 18, 2025
-
Schedule: Mondays & Wednesdays, 8:00–9:00 pm
-
Cost: $200 for the full 10 weeks
-
Capacity: Limited to 15 swimmers to ensure individualized attention
Our coaching team includes Christine McKinley, Chris Torrance, Abby Torrance, and Jared Spier, with two coaches on deck each session to provide maximum feedback and support.
Prerequisite Swim Level
The most common question we receive is: “What level of swimmer do I need to be?”
This program is not a learn-to-swim class. Participants must be able to swim 100m continuously before the program begins; in other words, you should be comfortable passing a deep-end swim test at any public pool. Your stroke doesn’t need to be perfect (that’s what we’re here to help with!), but the coaching is focused on improving efficiency and technique, not on basic water safety.
Note – Admission to the pool is included in the registration.

2026 Run Clinic
“If you want to run better, you need to move better.”
You’ve likely heard you can’t win a triathlon in the swim, but you can lose it there – and that’s largely true. But with its position as the final discipline in our racing, the run can always be the most pivotal part of a triathlon. A strong run can save a tough race or cap off a great one. Building an efficient run stride ensures you make the most of your energy late in each race.
To help our members move and run better, Triathlon Manitoba is excited to have Patrick Peacock and Christine McKinley lead these clinics and build towards a successful 2026 season.
This clinic will take place on Sunday, March 22 at the U of M Max Bell Fieldhouse, from 2:30 to 5:30 pm, and has been designed for adult runners from beginner to experienced – if you can run / jog 5k, you’re ready for this clinic!
Attendees should bring run clothes, shoes, water bottle and towel.
Cost for the clinic is $25. Space is limited, and will be first come first served, so register today and don’t miss out.

2026 Officials Clinic
Kids Triathlon – May Clinics
Kids Triathlon Clinics
Get ready for the season with our Kids Triathlon Clinics, a fun and active introduction to the key skills of triathlon.
These clinics are designed to help young athletes build confidence and learn the fundamentals of swimming, biking, running, and how to move between them in transition. Each session will include a mix of skill development, movement-based games, and hands-on practice in a supportive group environment. Whether your child is brand new to triathlon or looking to sharpen their skills ahead of the summer races, this is a great place to start.
The clinic runs every Saturday in May (May 2–May 30) from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Each session will begin at Pan Am Pool, where we’ll focus on swim skills, so please bring a bathing suit and towel. After swimming, we’ll head to the Grant Park track to work on cycling, running, or combined bike/run skills. We will let you know in advance which sessions require bringing a bike. In the event of poor weather, we will remain at Pan Am and use the indoor track.
This is a great opportunity to learn new skills, meet other young athletes, and build confidence heading into the triathlon season.
Membership Requirement
A 2026 Triathlon Season membership must be purchased with each Kids Program Registration, which provides insurance for all workout participants, as well as a racing licence for the season ahead. The Kids of Steel memberships are $15, plus CCN processing fees.

Birds Hill Triathlon
Due to low water levels and the absence of water quality testing, the Birds Hill Triathlon will be held as a duathlon-only event this weekend.
Adult changes
- The Olympic and Cross Triathlon swim is replaced by a 5km run.
- The Sprint Triathlon swim is replaced by a 3.25 km run.
- The Super Sprint swim is replaced by a 1km run.
Aquabike
- The Olympic and Sprint distances become bike-only races.
EOI for World Qualifiers
- EOIs still apply. The modified Olympic Tri, Olympic Aquabike, and Cross Tri/Du races remain world qualifiers. Racers who submitted an EOI for the Cross Tri only compete against those who also submitted an EOI for Cross Tri. Similar for racers who submitted an EOI for the Cross Du.
Triple Threat Triathlon Club is excited to host the first Triathlon of the 2026 Triathlon Manitoba season.
Challenge a Triathlon, Duathlon, Aquabike or Try-a-Tri at Birds Hill Provincial Park East Beach on June 7th. And new for 2026, Cross-Triathlon & Cross-Duathlon options will be added to allow qualification for the 2027 World Multisport Championships taking place in Edmonton!
Events to choose from:
Race Day Check-in and Transition will open at 6:00 a.m. and will close at 7:00 a.m. The first event starts at 7:45 a.m.
Due to requirements of the Park, the bike course must close at 10:00 a.m. Therefore the last loop of the bike course must be started before 9:40 a.m. After 9:40 a.m., participants will be instructed to either end their race or remove their bib and timing chip to continue the course. If continuing on the course, athletes will do so at their own risk and will not be considered part of the race. Results will show Did Not Finish (DNF) for the race.
Athletes of all abilities or gender-identity are welcome to compete at the Birds Hill Triathlon.
In the case of severe circumstances (i.e. pandemic, lightening, high winds, flooding, and other natural events) the race(s) may be modified or cancelled if athlete safety is at risk. In the event the weather is not suitable for swimming, the race may be changed to a duathlon. In the case of race cancellation, registration fees will not be refunded.

Hecla Triathlon
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.
