Sprint Duathlon Provincial Champions
Congrats to Lionel Sanders and Kirstie Kniaziew – 2014 Sprint Duathlon Provincial Champions!
The Triathlon Ontario Provincial Championships officially kicked off its outdoor season in the small Essex County community of Harrow, Ontario with the Iron Hawk Sprint Duathlon. The race offered a $3,000 prize purse which attracted some of the province’s best. The start list promised a blazing fast race, and the results did not disappoint. The race also doubled as a 2015 National Team Qualifier for the World Championships in Adelaide, Australia.
NEWS RELEASE ISSUE
We had an issue with our mail server which caused several of our subscribers to receive several copies of the past news release (Ontario Sprint Duathlon Highlights). We would like to inform you that this issue has since been rectified. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we rectified this issue.

Club Wear
Triathlon Ontario’s New Club Wear Program
Through its partnership with Ian Feldman of Genumark, the program is designed to give clubs – big and small – the opportunity to source an extensive catalogue of club wear options at competitive prices from a trusted source.
Triathlon Ontario understands the value to a club when its members proudly display their club colours either at races, training sessions, or even in casual wear. There is no doubt that clubs who have members wearing their club colours helps develop a sense of team spirit, increases visibility, thereby attracting more members and offers additional sponsorship and revenue generation opportunities.
