Protocols will be in place to respect Covid-19 guidelines set out by the province. Please visit our website for updates.
Evan is a 16 year old boy who suffered a severe brain injury 10 years ago as a result of mitochondrial disease rendering him a non-verbal spastic quadriplegic. Evan struggles every day to cope with chronic pain, low energy levels, and overall quality of life. Evan knows better than anyone how thankful we should be for our health and is inspired to see others, especially kids, being active, having fun and making the most of everyday life.
Evan is our inspiration for this family oriented event that includes a safe, fun non-competitive race for kids as well as a sprint triathlon or duathlon (individual and team). Truly something for the whole family.
Space is limited. Register early so you aren't disappointed.

Fundraising for MitoCanada
MitoCanada was started by the Penny family when Evan began his struggle with Mitochondrial disease.
Mitochondrial disease affects 1 in 5,000 people and is a genetic disease that affects both children and adults. Mitochondria are the ‘power plants’ of our cells that provide the body with all of the energy it needs to sustain life. Mitochondrial disease is at the core of many more well-known diseases that affect millions of people globally - Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, ALS, and many others. There are minimal therapies and no cure.
Be There Races supports MitoCanada by donating a portion of race registration fees each year. Help us raise money for this great cause when you register for the Tri for Evan by making a donation and/or gathering pledges from your friends and family. Send this registration link to your friends and tell them to choose "pledge participant" on the left hand side to search your name and make a pledge.
Race package pick up
Race package pick up will be on Thursday, August 6 and Friday, August 7 at Tri It Multisport (1703 10th Ave SW) from 11:00 - 4:00. You can collect your package anytime during those two time frames. Please follow all store policies including wearing a mask when inside. Race day package pick up is by request only for our out of town athletes. Please contact us if you require race day package pick up.
Triathlon clinic
Due to popular demand and people’s schedules, we have decided to take our clinic virtual on Tuesday, August 4 at 7PM. Our friends at Tri It will take you through a typical race day. You’ll get tips on setting up your transition, putting on your wetsuit, getting into the water, navigating the swim buoys, smoothly moving through transition, mount lines, dismount lines and all other things race related. This clinic is meant for those new to triathlon but is open to everybody and is complimentary. Access the clinic live via Instagram by going to @triitmultisport. If 7PM doesn't work for you then the video will be posted for you to watch when it's convenient.
