WELCOME ATHLETES!!
The Nelson Athletic Association invites you to join us for our 30th ANNUAL CYSOWG'N'FUN TRIATHLON on August 5, 2012!
In celebration of our 30th birthday, we've lowered the early bird registration to just $30! Registration starts March 1, 2012, and is limited to the first 350 people, so sign up early so that you don't miss out.
See the "Entry Fees" page for cut off times.
This triathlon continues to be an event for everyone from top-ranking amateurs to adult and youth participants who are entering for pure enjoyment. We continue to have an adult sprint course for people who are just breaking into the world of triathlon and team events ideal for family participation.
Many thanks to those of you who completed our survey last year to help us improve our race - your suggestions have been noted. The winners of our survey contest are:
Taryn Butterworth of Nelson, BC
Paul McCreedy of Calgary, AB
Please take time to fill out these surveys so we can continue to improve our triathlon. In response to those surveys we have decided to maintain the courses set last year, with a small adjustment to the sprint distance swim course.
And since you're coming for some CYSOWG'N'FUN, pack your trail shoes, mountain bike or kayak and enjoy Kootenay Lake and our beautiful community for the long weekend in August. You just might not leave.
Please take few minutes to review the local race rules and ITU's rules on our "The Course" page.
