A
large group of athletes from Europe are planning to
compete in this finale to the ITU Winter Triathlon
World Cup Series. Canmore Organizing Committee Chair,
Bill Murray, promises that this first-ever North American
stop on the Winter Series will be a superb end to
a great season.
Athletes
will be arriving from Switzerland, Spain, France and
Germany and among them are the current men's and women's
World Champions and World Cup points leaders.
The
three disciplines involved are Run, Mountain Bike
and Cross Country Ski, completed in rapid succession
and all on snow covered trails at the spectacular
Canmore Nordic Centre.
The
event in Canmore will have a stellar elite wave and
will also feature, in the manner of summer triathlon,
an age category event. A junior sprint category is
also available.
"Alberta
has so many athletes who run, bike and ski, we are
sure many will be anxious to 'tri' this new combined
challenge," said Murray.
