2026 Lake Chaparral Triathlon

The Lake Chaparral Triathlon, Calgary's longest-running multisport event, takes place at Lake Chaparral in Calgary, Alberta. It is organized by the Lake Chaparral Residents Association and offers both triathlon and duathlon races suitable for various ages and skill levels. The Tri-It and Sprint races are designed for newcomers, allowing participants with basic equipment to comfortably join the event. The race begins early, fitting for a summer day featuring an open-water swim, bike, and run. The swim is in Lake Chaparral's clear water, the bike course is smooth, and the run route winds through the Chaparral community on varied surfaces. The Standard Duathlon is also notable for competitive athletes, as it provides age-group qualifying spots for the World Multisport Championships in Edmonton and a route to join Team Canada. The event supports community fundraising, with the Calgary Canoe Club identified as a beneficiary.
