The event will proceed rain, snow or shine and will only be cancelled in cases of severe weather or circumstances beyond the organizer's control (force majeure).

In severe weather, the Race Director, Parks Canada and the event medical team will evaluate conditions on race morning, consulting local law enforcement and other relevant officials. Participant safety guides any decision to start, delay, modify or cancel the race.

Announcements about course changes or cancellation will be made by the race announcer before the scheduled start time.

Our air quality policy is adapted from the Triathlon Alberta / Triathlon BC Air Quality Protocol to guide decisions when smoke or reduced visibility affects the field of play.

Once registration is confirmed, costs for permits, event materials and commitments—including medals, shirts and race merchandise—are non-recoverable.

If the event is cancelled, purchased merchandise and race kits will remain available for pickup or delivery. Details will be provided in the event's post-cancellation communication.
