The Port Hood Triathlon takes place in a beautiful little community, with breathtaking scenery, within our village as well as all along the race route.
TD Port Hood Triathlon is located on the beautiful west coast of Cape Breton Island, and the capital of Inverness County. Port hood is a vibrant, seaside community approximately 30 minutes north from the Canso Causeway.
Our wonderful volunteers have been hosting Triathlons for over 25 years. We are happy to be back on the circuit this year. Our course is beautiiful with some rolling hills, a short but challenging climb on the run and not to mention we have the warmest water in Atlantic Canada. Our ocean's approximate temperature ranges from 18-21 degrees.
We have the warmest hospitality that will be providing a delicious meal during the presentation of the awards.
Registration closing date will be the Saturday, August 13th during the race package pick up times.
