UBC REC Triathlon Duathlon
With a wide variety of distances – Olympic, Sprint, or Short – as well as a Duathlon, Relay, and Kids Aquathlon, there really is something for everyone. Professional organization, friendly volunteers, and a beautiful course through the UBC Campus have all made this event a favourite for both those new to the sport and pros.
