The Course:
As of May 30, the exact swim course has not beeen determined, due to low water at
Wasa Lase. Most likely, the course will be in the north "Main Beach" bay, a one
loop 750m counterclockwise course. If the water level increases by Friday June 11, then
the course could be as in 2009..... The swim is a one clockwise rectangular loop starting
from the Horseshoe Bay beach. Wetsuits are allowed, long sleeves recommended.
The cycling leg is a flat and scenic course which starts with a clockwise loop around Wasa
Lake and heads north along the Rocky Mountain Trench and the Kootenay River. The return
portion of the bike course is identical to the way out, with a return to Wasa Lake Park
via the south entry. The triathlon will wrap-up with 2 flat out-and-back run segments,
with a cruise by the transition zone in between. To view courses, click on:
