The Wasa Lake Triathlon & Events has been a local event since 1993.
The first 10 years of the event were very basic and low-key. The event was then taken over and operated for almost 20 yrs by Charlie Cooper who worked hard to build the event into the largest triathlon event in Western BC! Establishing a reputation of quality and high standards that has drawn in many athletes and volunteers over the years.
The event weekend continues to grow and now hosts events for kids and adults of a variety of abilities from newbie to pro, ages 4+. It takes almost 200 volunteers to operate, some are local, but most come as family/friends of athletes. For this event to happen and be successful they rely on local businesses, volunteers, and clubs/organizations for support in their operation.
"We work hard to build partnerships with businesses for services and sponsorship. We are always looking for more support, especially for the Kid's event to minimize the cost to participate."
