2010 Sylvan Lake Half Iron will host the Canadian National and Provincial Long Course Championships.

"The Alberta Triathlon Association is very excited and pleased that the 2010 Provincial Championship will be held at Sylvan Lake.  This is a great venue, and the support of the community in Sylvan Lake is terrific.  On behalf of the membership and board of directors we wish to congratulate the team from Outback Events and encourage all Triathletes in the province of Alberta to mark this event on their calendar."
 
Ken Sackley
President of ATA

Outback Events is proud to announce that we will be partnering with the Official Charity for the Sylvan Lake Half Iron - Cops for Cancer.  The crew came out and helped us prepare and serve the bbq lunch to all of the athletes on race day this year and did a fantastic job.  We are looking forward to working together to help raise money and awareness for Cops for Cancer.

Congratulations to our 2009 Sylvan Lake Champions Scott Tremblay 4:16:44 and Jennifer Mansell 4:48:44.

Outback Events is proud to present the 7th Annual Sylvan Lake Half Iron Triathlon.

Outback Events is proud to present the 7th Annual Sylvan Lake Half Iron Triathlon and we are looking forward to welcoming back those who have raced with us before and those who will be first time racers with us. Located half way between Calgary and Edmonton Sylvan Lake welcomes over 1.5 million visitors a year from around Alberta. 

The race course is a Half Iron Distance that consists of a 2km swim, 90km bike and 21km run. The open water swim consists of a one course in Sylvan Lake that is described as the nicest lake in Alberta.  A rolling bike course of one loop past rural Alberta farms with some short climbs and fast descents awaits athletes.

The run course is out Lakeshore Drive along the lake and then out along the lakeside cottages with the lake there to tease you in the heat of the day.  The course will be well supported with volunteers and aid.

The race finishes beside the lake in one of Canada's most beautiful venues to race.  Post race awards and BBQ lunch for athletes and family to follow after the event is over. 

Please join us in July 2010, to experience first hand Sylvan Lake, AB. and the Sylvan Lake Half Iron.

The race is in its 7th year and has hosted some great triathletes since 2004 including Craig Walton, Keiran Doe, Emma Snowsill, Matt Seeley, Brian Rhodes and Canadians Scott Curry, Marilyn McDonald, Angela Naeth, and past Persona Oliver Half Iron Winner Kyle Marcotte.
