This middle distance triathlon is set to offer up fast splits, stunning scenery and the perfect excuse to take a race-cation and explore everything Québec city has to offer.

Location – Old meets new
“Sitting on the majestic St Lawrence River, Québec City is the capital of the predominantly French-speaking Quebec province of Canada. Dating back to the 1600s, Québec is a treasure trove of history and culture, with UNESCO World Heritage listed status. The birthplace of French North America, this fortified city is filled with colonial architecture, quaint cobbled streets and the towering spires of the Château Frontenac. Making it feel like you’ve been transported into a European town.
“But Québec isn’t a city that’s stuck in the past. The history and tradition contrasted against a vibrant, bustling arts and culture scene. A foodie district sure to satisfy even the hungriest of hungry triathletes. And a lively bar scene for those all-important post-race celebrations.
“The race itself starts with a swim in the calm waters of Bassin Louise, followed by a historic bike course with a fast section along a closed highway, and a run that finishes with an iconic finish line at the Port of Québec Agora, with panoramic views of the St Lawrence River and the Château Frontenac.
“Promising an unforgettable race day experience, a PR-ready course and an abundance of things to see and do on your post-race vacation. Challenge Cap Québec is a destination race that’s sure to soar straight to the top of many-a triathlete’s bucket list.”
