Beat the Cold Winter Triathlon **Postponed**
Due to the Extreme Cold Warning, the Beat the Cold Winter Triathlon will not be going ahead tomorrow, but will instead be held on it’s alternate date – Sunday, February 17th.
With an overnight low of -31c and windchill well below that, the health and safety of racers and volunteers needs to take top priority. We hope to see everyone out on the 17th, but there are more details in the post below for those unable to attend.
And the really good news is that because of this event’s success, 25 more Winnipeggers will have a safe, warm place to sleep tonight and Beat the Cold.
Beat the Cold is a new event offering the chance to get outside and test yourself against Winnipeg’s winter conditions.
Whether you take on the challenge solo or with a team as a relay, competitors will enjoy Running, Cycling and Skating from The Forks, in the centre of Winnipeg. The event also serves as a fundraiser for 1JustCity – helping to ensure that Winnipeg’s homeless are able to find a warm place to sleep on the coldest nights. Further event and fundraising details are available via the registration link below.

Hecla Triathlon
2019 Hecla Triathlon
The Hecla Triathlon will take place in Hecla, Manitoba, July 20, 2019. This race started in 2015 and has continued to grow and evolve each year since, and is now home to Manitoba’s only Long Course race.
The event is popular, with an approx. 200 racers, of which we expect to have more athletes out this year to compete for their 2020 World qualifying race position on the Canadian National Team. This race won’t 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, and the run to T1 (~650m) will allow you to shake out your sea legs in prep for your bike.
-
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 resort, and hugging the lake.
-
This course will provide you both a physically and mentally challenging race, packed with stunning vistas all showcasing the beauty of the island.

Pinawa Triathlon **CANCELLED
The Pinawa Triathlon has been cancelled for 2019, as the organizers did not feel they could deliver the high quality event that the triathlon community has come to expect. Instead, they will work to return the event in 2020.
Here is the communication from the Pinawa Triathlon organizers:
We apologize for any inconvenience that the cancellation of this race has caused, and we would like to assure those who had registered that they will be receiving full refunds. Our hope is that with a full year ahead of us, we will be able to bring together an amazing organizing committee and full group of volunteers who will be able to plan an exciting Triathlon for Pinawa for 2020. If you are interested in being involved in the planning of the 2020 Triathlon, please contact Winnipeg River Recreation at
As noted above, the organizers have expressed they will be issuing full refunds to each registered athlete, including the processing fees that were paid when using the CCN online platform. All registered racers should receive a communication from CCN shortly to initiate that process. If you do not receive that e-mail, or if you have any further questions or concerns, please contact Winnipeg River Recreation or Triathlon Manitoba for further assistance.
