On August 6th, 2017, XTERRA heads to one of the most spectacular spots in the Canadian Rockies.

XTERRA Canmore features both full and sprint distance triathlons and duathlons on a former Olympic venue. Full distance triathlon athletes will be competing for 15 age-group slots at the XTERRA World Championship in Maui this October.

Full Distance Triathlon - Swim 1500m - Bike 22km - Run 10km
Sprint Distance Triathlon - Swim 500m - Bike 14km - Run 5km
Full Distance Duathlon - Run 3.5km - Bike 22km - Run 10km

Race director Tony Smith redesigned the already top-notch course this year. "It's going to be epic," said Smith. "For the 10th anniversary of XTERRA Canmore, we decided to make the bike course just a little more spicy."

Smith expects a record turnout and already has athletes registered from South Africa, Australia, Austria, Switzerland, Holland, and the UK.
