If you are looking for information on how to qualify for the World Championships or if you’ve already qualified and need information, this is the place to be. Hundreds of athletes from coast to coast travel to the World Championships representing Canada in their respective age groups.

Triathlon Canada offers athletes of all ages the chance to compete at the international level in the Triathlon and Duathlon World Championships. You can experience the challenge of being a part of the nation’s best age group team and have the opportunity to represent Canada and compete in the International Triathlon Union’s (ITU) World Championships. For some, just completing the race is a thrill of a lifetime. For others, it’s about getting back on the podium or bettering your time from previous years. Whatever drives you, everyone will agree that it doesn’t get better than representing your country in the biggest event of the year on the international stage.
