Racing Indoors
Indoor Triathlon is a fun and exciting triathlon format that takes place entirely indoors.
Athletes swim in a pool, bike on a stationary bike, and run on an indoor track, in each case trying to get as much distance as possible in 15 minutes.
Though there is a Provincial Championship, races are open to everyone. In fact, beginners are especially welcome!
Join us for one race or several this winter!

Indoor Triathlon
Indoor triathlon is a great way to try the sport of triathlon in a safe, fun, welcoming way.
The indoor race format is simple: swim, bike, and run – each for 15 minutes. The farther you go, the more points you score.
The swim is in a pool, the bike portion is on a stationary bike or trainer and the run is on an indoor track. Indoor tri is inexpensive, and you don’t need much equipment to race. Races are fun, social, open to anyone, and don’t take an entire day.
You don’t need to be a great athlete to try an indoor triathlon. Being fast or slow only matters to you – everyone swims, bikes, and runs for the same amount of time, whether you tear up the course or take it easy.
It’s a fun way to race.
The Championship
The Indoor Triathlon Provincial Championship will be contested in the overall category – all-ages, one champion for women and one champion for men.
The 2024 championship was decided in one race, winner-take-all, on March 9, 2024.
Congratulations to Brooke Beauchesne and Cezar Hirsescu!
Race Format
Each race might have its own format in terms of what kind of equipment is used. For example you might swim laps in a lane or circle buoys, bike on a stationary bike or your own bike on a trainer, run laps on a 200 or 400-metre indoor track or on a treadmill. Please check with the race ahead of time to be prepared for what equipment might be necessary to compete.
Triathlon Ontario’s races consist of a 15-minute lap swim, a 15-minute stationary bike, and a 15-minute indoor track run.
Categories & Prizes
The Provincial Championship will be awarded in the overall category only. The male & female Provincial Champions will be recognized with an award at Triathlon Ontario’s annual awards banquet.
Race organizers may offer age-group competition with prizes in various categories, both categories and prizes are at the discretion of the race organizer and will vary by race.
