Sprint Duathlon
Due to a number of logistical issues around summer construction, route safety and available dates for the Billy Loutit Triathlon, the organizing committee has made the decision to cancel the adult Triathlon/Duathlon on Sunday, July 22, 2018. It is our anticipation that this will be a 1 year “hiatus” for the Billy Loutit Triathlon, and we look to be back in 2019.
The Billy Loutit Duathlon can be completed as an individual OR as a team.

The course will be marked and aide stations will be on the route.

Cyclists will turn around at a designated turn around location at the intersection of Hwy 2 and Rge Rd 234 and return to the pool/transition area.
