INCOMM PRESENTS
20TH ANNUAL C3 BENSON STEEL - ROYAL CONTAINERS KIDS & ADULT POOL TRIATHLON
July 4th (Tentative)
Join Olympic Coach Barrie Shepley & C3 Volunteers & High-Performance Team for the 20th Annual Caledon Benson Steel - Royal Containers C3 KIDS and Adult Pool Triathlon on Sunday, May 24th at the Mayfield Swim Complex. When former Olympic coach Barrie Shepley returned from the Sydney Olympics 20 years ago, the C3 organization decided to start youth triathlon 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. In 2020, C3 will have a prize money race where 14-15, 16-19 and young Canadian elite and development athletes will do two draft legal race at 400m swim - 8km bike - 2km run. The morning qualifier gets the best dozen athletes into the afternoon prize money A-FINAL. Those who don’t make the Prize Money A-Final will be put into the B & C Finals in the afternoon. All 14-15, 16-19 and pros will get two races (one in the late morning and a second one in the early afternoon). 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.
Adults will go 400m swim - 15km bike and a new shorter 3km run. The adult waves go first thing in the morning and help the C3 volunteers ensure the course and details are perfect for the younger kids that go later in the day. The entire event is a big family day and we encourage you to bring your entire family out and participate in some fashion.
