ROSE CITY (WELLAND) TRIATHLON and DUATHLON

Saturday June 25th & Sunday June 26th

Ontario’s Best Swim Venue 

Hosted at the Welland International Flatwater Centre (WIFC) and featuring Ontario’s Best Swim Venue, the Rose City (Welland) Triathlon is part of the nearly Forty (40) Year history of Triathlon events in Welland. 

Our Long Course Events on Saturday serve as a perfect early summer event to prepare you for any longer events throughout the summer. 

The event also features a FULLY CLOSED Bike Course on Sunday for the Sprint and Give-It-A-Tri Events.

• Elevated Transition Area that overlooks the Swim Course 
• Parking is available right next to the Venue. 
• Registration, Food, Awards, and Finish Line all close by each other 
• Great view opportunities for spectators

• Same maximum prices as 2021

Swim Course 

Think about swimming in a giant pool!  100m Wide and over 1km Long and that’s what it feels like!  There are already existing buoy lines to keep you swimming straight, so you can just keep your head down and SWIM! 

Our Small Wave Starts (Long Course) and Individual Starts (Sprint & GIT) make for a stress-free start to your day. 

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

Bike Course 

On Saturday, the Long Course route heads south from Welland predominantly flat and quiet roads.  Wind can be a factor on this route is it goes right down to the shores of Lake Erie.  This is SHARED ROAD Course, so be sure to follow all safe riding practices

On Sunday, The Sprint and Give-It-A-Tri use the roads right around the WIFC and feature FULLY CLOSED course.  The course is Fast and Flat with wide turnarounds at each end.  This is also a favourite with spectators as they are always close to the action! 

Run Course 

This is also by far our most spectator-friendly run course as it stays on the pathways around the WIFC.  The Long Course passes by the Grandstands twice each loop and the Sprint and Give-It-A-Tri feature great viewing opportunities around the Lap & Finish area.
