Atlantic Canada Triathlon Relay Championships

Welcome to the Rockwood Relays an exciting new style of Team Triathlon over a short course in Rockwood Park, Saint John, ready made for fast and exciting racing. This is a fun style of racing and great for inter club competitions where Tri Clubs can select their A, B or C teams depending on ability levels and compete against each other for bragging rights. As with all our events we want to be as inclusive as possible so even if this your first season of Triathlon you and 2 friends can still have a great experience over the 2 events.

This is a great format of racing for new and experienced Triathletes alike.

Race day will comprise 2 separate events which are explained below:

Swim - 300m in Fisher Lakes

Bike Route - 3 out and back loops on a closed course in Rockwood Park for a total bike distance of 8.1k - click here for Bike course

Run - 1k out and back covered twice for a total of 2k - click here for Run course

Race 1 - 8.00am start

Teams of 3 people will compete over a course of 300m swim, 8k bike and 2k run. Each person will complete their swim, bike and run before handing off to their next team member until all 3 people have completed the course. Fastest team wins. Race is consecutive and is timed from when the first team member starts swimming until the third team member finishes running. This is a non-drafting event.

Race 2 - 11.00am start

In your team of 3, all 3 people will swim together as a threesome and then ride together on the bike course and then complete the race by running together as a team. Your time finisihes when your last team member crosses the finish line. In order to reduce the number of bikes on the course at any one time we will operate a staggered start so that only 1 team at a time will be on the bike course. This is a non-drafting event.

Important Race Info:

I highly recommend a Road Bike rather than a Tri Bike for both races as we have quite a technical and short bike course and both events are non-drafting. There are no areas of this course where a Tri bike or Road bike with Aero Bars would be an advantage.

Teams can be same sex or mixed sex. You can register your team as 3 Individuals and then e-mail me the names and your team name and I will put you all together or you can register as a team of 3.

Pricing covers both races and we cannot split pricing down to cover 1 event only.

Price is $55.00 per person to cover both events and all 3 people must complete both races. No discount for just completing 1 race.

No Drafting allowed
