ATTENTION - Orillia Athletes

THE SWIM FOR THE ORILLIA TRIATHLON HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR ALL EVENTS.

The swim has been cancelled due to high pollution counts at Lake Couchiching Park.

We have been monitoring Lake Couchiching throughout the week. For the duration of the week water tests showed levels safe for swimming as deemed by Triathlon Ontario. However, our most recent water test which we received back today (taken Friday Aug 18) has showed results at 680ppm which is unsafe for swimming.

Your safety is of utmost importance to us, as a result the race will proceed as a DUATHLON for all events.

The events will proceed as follows:
