The hall is located at 607 Port Sydney Road in Port Sydney. Take exit 207 (Highway 141/Muskoka Road 10) from Highway 11, head east and follow the road around to just past the main beach.
We will be hosting a Pre-race Seminar on Friday July 17th 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.
Dogs are not allowed in the beach area. Please make arrangements to leave your furry friends safely at home.
Life Jackets are permitted for children in the swim portion of the event. The smallest age groups run through the water and are not in over their heads.

We are excited to announce that the Muskoka Kids Tri is supporting the Muskoka Children’s Foundation in 2020.
Please consider supporting their mission with a donation.
Muskoka Children’s Foundation Mission:
To focus community resources for the enrichment of the lives of Muskoka children.
The Children’s Foundation of Muskoka is an independent, non-profit organization formed in 1989 by volunteers in Muskoka. CFM raises funds in our local community, in partnership with individuals, businesses, and service organizations. We are also a community partner with Canadian Tire’s Jump Start Program.
Through our community partnerships, we are able to help children and families in practical ways when no other help is available. We provide funds to meet the recreational, cultural, medical, and emotional needs of the children we serve. Our grants provide children in Muskoka the opportunities to grow and develop.
