Now in its second year as the Grande Prairie Triathlon, the event builds on the long-standing success of the former Eastlink Centre Triathlon while continuing to offer an inclusive and inspiring race experience. Open to athletes of all skill levels, from ages 3 to 99+, the triathlon welcomes everyone, from first-time participants to seasoned competitors.

The annual Grande Prairie Triathlon returns on July 12, 2026, inviting participants to swim, bike and run their way to the finish line.

The Grande Prairie Triathlon is a Triathlon Alberta sanctioned event, and all athletes must hold a valid Triathlon Alberta membership to participate.

The triathlon route begins with swimming in the Olympic pool at the Eastlink Centre, swimming in 25m lengths, participants will then ride their bikes from Knowledge Way down 68 Avenue and loop around at Poplar Drive to make their way back to the Eastlink Centre. Racers will then run through the trail system and finish on the north end of Knowledge Way.

For the safety of participants and commuters, 68 Avenue will be closed from Poplar Drive to Knowledge Way during the triathlon.
