The Complete List of Triathlons in Ontario 2026

Versatility isn’t always rewarded in sport. While there is genuine merit to honing one specific, often highly specialized skill set, there’s something innately human about wanting to do more. The triathlon is an event that pushes athletes to excel in multiple disciplines in the water and on land. The sense of accomplishment after pushing yourself and completing a race affords a sense of accomplishment unlike any other.

There is no one type of triathlon, just like there’s no one kind of triathlete. Whether you are a veteran or looking to try your first event, Triathlon Ontario, which supports the development of safe and fair multisport in Ontario, is your best resource. They will get you excited and provide a great community of enthusiasts for all the motivation you’ll need to prepare for your next race.

This list compiles all of the Triathlon events taking place in Ontario during 2026. Whether you’re seasoned and looking to shave time off last year’s race, or you’re brand new to triathlon, there’s a spectrum of events taking place this year across the province.
