PENTICTON SUPER LEAGUE

AUGUST 21 – 25 Penticton, B.C.

Super League Triathlon came to Canada for the first time in 2018, landing in Penticton where it was a huge success. Not content to merely repeat a good thing in 2019, the organizers have upgraded their roster to include a half-distance option, off-road racing and kids races. Carrying over from last year are the Equalizer and the Enduro. The first is a two-stage event with a stand-alone bike stage and another which has two rounds of swimming and running in addition to another bike. The Enduro course is a traditional sprint done twice, back to back. This event is a qualifier for professionals to land a lucrative contract in the championship series, joining the world’s best short course triathletes to race world-wide. However, the main focus of Super League in Penticton will be on providing thrilling competitions and festivities for age groupers. Athletes are encouraged to do all three races and only those who do will qualify for the age group awards.
