Join Olympic Coach Barrie Shepley & C3 Volunteers
& High-Performance Team for the 17th Annual
Vanilla Pre-Paid presents the C3 Benson Steel - Royal Containers
Kids & Adult Pool Triathlon
Join Olympic Coach Barrie Shepley & C3 Volunteers & High Performance Team for the 19th Annual Caledon Benson Steel - Royal Containers C3 KIDS and Adult Pool Triathlon on Sunday May 26th at the Mayfield Swim Complex. When former Olympic coach Barrie Shepley returned from the Sydney Olympics 19 years ago, the C3 organization decided to start youth riathlon to honour Simon Whitfield’s gold medal performance. Over the years near 15 000 boys and girls of all ages have crossed the finishing line in Caledon and received the same medal Simon got in his first race 30+ years ago. A decade ago, C3 added in the very popular Adult Pool Division.
New in 2019, will be a prize money pro race where Canada’s top elite and development athletes will do two draft legal races. The morning qualifier gets the best dozen athletes into the afternoon prize money final. This is a first for a youth triathlon in Canada. Family members will get a chance to see Canada’s top athletes racing in the Olympic draft legal format.
The day will begin with the adult categories and provide opportunities for 3-6 year olds, all youth ages (7-18), and the elite pro division. The entire event is a big-family day and we encourage you to bring your entire family out and participate in some fashion.

Bike: The bike is a 3km, flat road that is 100% closed to traffic. Athletes will do 1-5 loops of the 3km bike loop to do your proper bike race distance. The only exception is the 7 & under timed will do half a loop on the road for 1.5km and the 3-6 year old non-timed kids will stay 100% on the parking lot of the race venue. Helmets and working bikes are required for all participants.
