Guelph has a large Triathlon Community with the city and surrounding areas hosting at least 5 competitions each season, and is also home to many resident clubs for athletes of all ages and abilities. The University of Guelph is the home base for Triathlon Canada’s Regional Triathlon Centre. Craig Taylor is the Centre’s head coach and designs and supervises camp content. Athletes and coaches from University of Guelph and the RTC are excited to offer an outstanding experience.

Camp content includes the basics of swimming, biking, running, and transitions, in a safe, inclusive, fun and challenging environment. Elite triathletes will make guest appearances for specific sessions. Friday will be race day with an opportunity to test new skills on a modified course through campus.  

This camp is great preparation for the many youth triathlons offered throughout the summer. Please visit the Triathlon Ontario website (www.triathlonontario.com) for information on youth events and register early, as they typically sell out quickly.

Campers must be able to swim 200m (8 lengths of a 25m pool) continuously and run at least 2km. Campers must bring proper swimming attire (cap, suit goggles, towel), bicycle, approved helmet (CSA, EN, ASTM, CPSC or Snell B90/B95), running shoes, comfortable clothing for activity, sunscreen, and a lunch, snacks and water bottle. Bikes must be in good working order, and appropriately sized to the rider. We strongly recommend that all bikes be taken to a bike shop for a tune-up prior to camp in order to minimize time lost to bike repairs during sessions. Aero bars are not permitted. Clipless pedals are not necessary, but are permitted.
