The Half Distance Triathlon Victoria Canada features a breathtaking single-loop swim in Elk Lake, starting and finishing at Hamsterly Beach Park. You’ll swim south with buoys on your right before turning north back to shore. The 90 km bike course offers a challenging yet scenic ride, with over 3,000 feet of climbing and stunning views of the Haro Strait, Coastal Mountains, and Saanich Inlet. The final leg is a two-loop 21.1 km run around the tranquil trails of Elk and Beaver Lake—ending triumphantly at the beach.
