Athletes encouraged to register for 2024 Eastlink Centre Triathlon as race day fast approaches

Registration for the 2024 Eastlink Centre Triathlon is coming to a close and the city is encouraging interested residents to register in one of the various race categories.

Event registration closes on June 30th, one week ahead of the race on July 7th. Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton says the city is looking forward to this year’s event having the highest turnout yet, and encourages anyone interested in participating to register.

“There are less than 50 spots left, so make sure you register before the deadline to make unforgettable memories at this year’s triathlon,” she says.

This year features a number of race categories including a “try-atri,” sprint, team sprint, and Kids of Steel for children under 13.

Athletes who register now will receive a spot for a free carb load dinner the night before the race, a free bike safety check, a finisher medal, a branded cup, and prize packs for the winner of each category.

Additionally, the city is still looking for volunteers to support the event. Volunteers will receive a free t-shirt and start the day with a free breakfast. Interested volunteers can register by calling 3-1-1.

Interested athletes can register on the City of Grande Prairie’s website.
