Weather Policy
The event will proceed rain, snow, or shine, and will only be cancelled in cases of severe weather or Acts of God (Force Majeure).
In the event of severe weather, the Race Director, Parks Canada and the event medical team, will evaluate conditions on race morning and make an appropriate determination regarding the initiation, delay, or cancellation of the race.
This decision will be made in consultation with local law enforcement and other relevant officials, prioritizing participant safety.
Any announcements regarding course changes or race cancellation will be made by the race announcer prior to the scheduled start time.
In cases of inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances, Multisportscanada reserves the right to:
Alter, cancel, or eliminate any portion of the race, or
Modify the time, length, or nature of the event as necessary.
Air Quality Policy
This policy follows the Triathlon Alberta / Triathlon BC Air Quality Protocol, adapted by Multisportscanada to guide decisions when the Field of Play is impacted by low visibility or forest fire smoke.
📄 Full details on the official protocol can be found here.
We monitor real-time Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) data provided by provincial governments:
Alberta: airquality.alberta.ca/map
British Columbia: Environment Canada – Air Quality Health Index
Saskatchewan: Air Quality Experience Map
If the AQHI level reaches 7 or greater, the event will be cancelled.
Participants will receive an update 72 hours in advance with current conditions; however, as air quality can change rapidly, the final decision will be made race morning.

Refunds & Cancellations
Once registration is confirmed, all related permits, event materials, and commitments (including medals, shirts, and race merchandise) are non-recoverable.
Accordingly, no refunds, credits, or rollovers will be issued for weather, air quality, or other cancellations.
