SWIM
3 Events - 6 Weeks. (It's a Port Alberni version of a Triathlon; we make it hard and....easy at the same time!)
Here is what to expect:
Our Swim takes place on Sunday, July 8, 2018 at Beautiful Sproat Lake located just west of Port Alberni BC. The swim event all takes place at the Provincial Park beside the public Boat Launch area. It's a lovely beach setting that wraps around the lake for quite the distance - in fact almost all the way to the very historic and impressive Petroglyphs which were carved into the rocks hundreds of years ago by the local First Nations peoples of the time.
There are four swim distances to consider in the beautiful clear warm waters of Sproat Lake including a 100m, 500m, 2000m and 4000m with the latter two coming close to the Petroglyphs.

The Tri-Conic Challenge was an initiative of the Alberni Valley Chamber of Commerce that was supported by Canada 150 as a Feature Event aimed at celebrating Canada's Heritage. The Alberni Valley Chamber of Commerce extends its thanks to Canada 150 for believing in our vision so that we could bring this incredible event to the Alberni Valley.
