Athletes and Teams

Age Group

Age group triathlon accounts for a majority of the provincial participation.

Triathlon is a unique sport where age group athletes often compete on the same course and same time as the elite field.

Kids (KITCan)

Triathlon Canada’s Kids In Triathlon (KITCan) program gives kids aged 3 to 11 a chance to experience triathlon in a positive and fun environment. The emphasis is on participation, not competition. The distances are much shorter and increase as participants mature in the sport. Every province in Canada will have its own series of KITCan races. Many of them happen with an adult race, making it a family affair.

New to Triathlon?

A triathlon is a multiple-stage competition involving the completion of three continuous and sequential endurance activities. While many variations of the sport exist, the most popular form involves swimming, cycling and running over various distances. Triathletes compete for fastest overall course completion time, including timed “transitions” between the individual swim, cycle and run components. There is something for everyone, but careful — triathlon is addictive!

High Performance ~ Campbell and Haliburton Athlete Excellence Program

Triathlon Saskatchewan is committed to the development of youth, junior, U23 and Age Group athletes. Under the guidance of Provincial Coaches, Patrick Ash (Regina and South Districts) and Dan Toogood (Saskatoon and North Districts), who work in collaboration with private coaches, members meet online and in person throughout the year for camps and clinics and sports medicine and science programming to optimize performance.  Members are also eligible for athlete assistance to reduce the cost of competition. Below you will find the program details such as the levels, athlete assistance, benefits, and cost.

The Campbell and Haliburton Athlete Excellence Program has been expanded in 2025 to meet the needs of Youth, Jr, U23, and Age Group athletes looking to train, develop, and compete in the sport to reach their highest potential. We recognize the need to develop athletes where they are and want to be and for this reason, have re-structured the Campbell and Haliburton Athlete Excellence Program to progress athletes through three levels:

1. Entry Level Athletes –are training to train and learning to compete. The focus for athletes at the entry level is skill development and improving swim, bike and run fitness and times and performance in events. This level is appropriate for Youth to AG triathletes and athletes from other sports who are new to triathlon and/or draft legal racing.

2. High Performance Level Athletes are striving to achieve a national ranking and have achieved ONE High Performance Swim or Run standard time.  HPL athletes have been training and competing Inter-Provincially in Western Canada Development Series and Triathlon Canada’s Nationally Development Series.

3. Elite Level Athletes are the top athletes in the country defined as being on the national team, are nationally carded, have a top 10 placing at national championships, and/or have achieved High Performance Swim AND Run Standard times. Elite athletes have the goal of competing to win and improve their World Triathlon ranking.
