The event also supports a variety of local and regional charities.

Barrelman Niagara Falls

We are proud to be celebrating 10 years since the inaugural Barrelman Niagara Falls all the way back in 2014! Barrelman has received glowing reviews from thousands of finishers and nearly all have recommended it as a great choice for a first race at the 70.3 distance. 

The race is close to home for those in Ontario, Quebec, and New York. Barrelman has flat and fast courses, and you’ll see lots of familiar faces to encourage you along the way. Add to that the numerous attractions for all manner of family fun in Niagara Falls and you’ve got the perfect combination for a fall goal event - click HERE for more information and take advantage of new garment upgrades until August 3rd!

We are extremely excited to announce two significant changes to the Barrelman weekend: the addition of NEW Olympic Distance race; and a major change to the Barrelman Bike Course giving us nearly 70km of closed roads.

The Olympic Distance race features a protected swim in the Welland International Flatwater Centre, a FAST and FLAT Bike Course with 25 km of closed roads, and a scenic 10km Run in Niagara Falls.

The NEW Bike Course for the Barrelman Distance will now ride directly from Welland to the Niagara Parkway and complete two loops before heading to Kingsbridge Park.

This very well-paved section of the Parkway will be completely closed to vehicular traffic! We believe this will be a positive addition to the overall race experience.

If you’re looking for a goal race this Fall, why not consider adding Barrelman to your list and join us on Sunday, September 14th in Niagara Falls – click HERE to sign up today!
