Swim Course 

In the clear waters of Georgian Bay from Wasaga Beach.  Being a larger body of water, small waves are expected.  

Water temperatures tend to be in the 20-23C (68F to 74F) range, so wetsuits will very likely be optional for this event. 

Bike Course 

The Sprint heads east out of town into a rural area on flat roads.  The Olympic heads further east and north towards the Tiny Marsh.  

These are both SHARED ROAD Courses, so be sure to follow all safe riding practices 

Run Course 

Right along Wasaga Beach for the first 500m before turning inland and heading past Park Two and towards Park Three along Mosley St and Shore Lane.
