We will be hosting a Pre-race Seminar on Friday July 20th at 7:00 p.m at the beach. This seminar is optional but can be very helpful for first time “tri-ers”. We will review the course layout, the transition area, and offer tips for race day.
Parking on Saturday is also at the Community Hall. You can stop briefly to drop your bikes etc. off by the transition area at the main beach then drive to the community hall.
Volunteers will be on hand to direct you. Parking is not allowed on the race course roads.

2018 CHARITY INFORMATION:
We are very excited to announce that this year’s Muskoka Kids Tri will be raising money for THINK BIG, LOOK BACK, START SMALL – a social Action Council for Youth. Organized by YWCA Muskoka.
Think Big Look Back Start Small is a social action council for youth aged 14-29 that celebrates local arts & culture and female trailblazers while providing participants with the opportunity to be leaders within their community. Organized by YWCA Muskoka, the youth council meets once a month to plan and organize community action days and excursions in order to give back to the community in a fun and rewarding way. This project allows for council members to receive e-learning webinars courtesy of the Government of Canada and the YWCA Canada on topics includingstorytelling, financial literacy, and event management to support them in creating their own community event. Overall, the youth council presents young people in our community with a space and environment for learning, growth and leadership among their peers.
You can donate to this amazing program on your registration page. Donations of $20 or more will receive charitable tax receipts.
