Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members will be competing at the 2022 CAF National Triathlon Championship this summer in Quebec.

Gatineau will host the competition from July 8th until the 10th. Athletes will compete in either an “Olympic” format ( 1.5-kilometre swim, 40-kilometre bike ride and a 10-kilometre run) or “Sprint” format (750-metre swim, 20-kilometre bike ride and 5-kilometre run.)

Qualifying times for members interested in competing are required to be submitted to Jerry Ingham, the Personnel Support Programs (PSP) Base Sports Coordinator at 4 Wing. Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services (CFMWS) says the times have to come from a sanctioned race between 2019 and 2022 and have to be submitted no later than May 2nd.
