Before registering, please keep in mind the following information:

Age requirements: Participants must be 16 years old as of December 31, 2026 to run the race. The wave and age category you are in on race day is also based on your age as of December 31, 2026. This means for those born after July 18, 2026, you may be racing in a category that does not match your current age, but would be your age come December 31.

Deferred an entry from last year? You will receive a code which will cover your registration fee for 2026. This code does not cover fees for Triathlon Ontario, Race Roster or if you choose to get a race shirt this year. Only those athletes who had a confirmation by the race director in 2025 will receive a code for a deferred entry. If you did not show up on race day, and did not confirm with the race director you wanted to defer, you are not eligible for a free entry.

One-day Triathlon Ontario fee requirement. You will be charged for a one-day membership fee for Triathlon Ontario.

If you email [email protected] with proof of your 2026 Triathlon Ontario membership before your register, you will receive a promo code to remove the fee. If you send this information after registering (but before the race), this fee will be refunded.

Race t-shirts are available for a fee: If you want a race shirt, you will need to pay an additional $15 fee and choose your size. In order to ensure your shirt size, you must do this by April 30, 2026. Sizing may be limited after this date as we need to order shirts well in advance of the race.

Can't race anymore? While we understand that circumstances can change, we are unable to offer refunds or deferrals for your race entry. We begin planning for the race early, and costs for the race include all registrants. You are able to transfer your registration to a new participant for a fee and can initiate this transfer in your Race Roster account.

Non-profit race: All race organizers are volunteers. We are working hard to bring you a great, safe race. Please recognize that and be patient. We will be providing information as soon as we have details confirmed.

This is our fourth year in Saugeen Shores, and we are looking to make it bigger and better than ever. Last year, thanks to our racers and sponsors we donated more than $10,000 back to local community organizations. This year we are asking for your help to make that even bigger. Participants are able to donate directly to the organizations we support as part of their registration or can choose to fundraise for more donations while they train. The organizations we support are:

Women's House Serving Bruce and Grey: As a women's only race, we feel a strong responsibility to give back to organizations that serve and support women.

Kabaeshiwim Respite Women's Shelter: Recognizing our race is run in the traditional territory of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, we know it is important to show our support to Saugeen's women as well.
