Saturday June 11th & Sunday June 12th
JUMP – Swim – Bike – Run
Hosted at the Muskoka Wharf Sports Fields and featuring a JUMP from the iconic Muskoka Steamships, Gravenhurst has been one of the most sought-after events in the MultiSport Canada Triathlon Series for over 10 years.
The event has now moved to June to take advantage of quieter roads prior to the start of summer in Muskoka.
The event sells out every year as it is limited by the capacity of the Muskoka Steamships, so be sure to register early to guarantee your spot!

Swim Course
After your JUMP into Lake Muskoka, the Swim Course has plenty of long straight sections with the sun at your back. As the event is in June, wetsuits are recommended as the temperatures are projected to be in the 18C-20C range (65-68F).
Bike Course
After departing the Muskoka Wharf, you’ll stay on Rd. 169 all the way out-&-back to the turn-around. Rd 169 has long steady grades, paved shoulders that vary in width, as well as excellent sightlines for cyclists and motorists alike. This is SHARED ROAD Course, so be sure to follow all safe riding practices.
Run Course
After following the pathways in the Muskoka Wharf Sports Park out to North Muldrew Lake Rd, the hills begin. Regarded as one of the more challenging in the Series, the Run Course climbs and descends throughout its length. This is a SHARED ROAD Course, so participants will run facing traffic at all times.
