Triathlon Manitoba releases 2026 race schedule

Triathlon Manitoba has released its 2026 race schedule, which offers races for those new to the sport, as well, as triathletes hoping to earn spots to compete nationally and internationally.

First up, on Saturday, Jan. 31, is the Beat the Cold winter triathlon, where participants can take on a five-kilometre run, bike, and skate on their own or as part of a relay team. Proceeds from the event will support 1JustCity’s Just a Warm Sleep emergency overnight shelter.
