Plan Description

Race the Full Distance Triathlon in Ottawa, Canada — with Confidence, Clarity, and a Proven Plan

Our expertly built 6-month Full Distance Triathlon training plan is designed for beginner athletes who want to train smart, stay consistent, and reach that iconic finish line in front of Canada’s Parliament.

This course features:

A 3.8 km (2.4-mile) one-loop swim in the calm Ottawa River, averaging 70°F (21°C).
