Gravenhurst Triathlon Pre-Race Report

**Due to construction on a small but key section of the bike course, we will be using an alternate route for 2015 along the scenic and rolling Rd 169. See details here.

Thank you for registering to race with us in Gravenhurst! A very special thank-you to our volunteer recruiters Christine Cousins and Marie Walker.

Gravenhurst Local Presenting Sponsor

We would like to thank our Local Presenting Sponsor IDA Gravenhurst for their support. Please visit them on race day near the Recharge Zone. For details on their products and services please visit their website.

We are very excited about our partnership with Recharge With Milk! Look for the Recharge with Milk Team at the finish line for your sample of chocolate milk to help you Rehydrate, Refuel and Recharge after your race.  Chocolate milk delivers an ideal mix of fluids to rehydrate, carbs to refuel and protein to recharge your body the wholesome way. Chocolate milk, the original recovery drink.

Bike Security

In order to ensure bike security every participant arriving to race site will be stopped as they are initially entering transition and they will receive two (2) bracelets. The first bracelet will be placed on the participant’s wrist and the second bracelet will be put on the participant’s bike. The two bracelets have matching numbers and in order to leave transition after the race is complete the participant must have both bracelets with the same matching number. You will be asked to show your bracelet on your wrist every time you enter transition.

Weather Forecast

Water Quality

Water Quality is Good. We are the only race series to have a Water Quality Guarantee. The Water Quality Guarantee Page has all the details.

Racking by BIB number

Bikes are racked by BIB Number. The BIB numbers are assigned by age and gender so for most athletes that means you will be racked with people in your age group and gender. If you are new to our races, please read the section in our Athlete Resource Library on Racking Your Bike
