Today, World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) announces Whistler, British
Columbia as the new venue of the IRONMAN Canada triathlon. IRONMAN Canada in
Whistler builds on the legacy of the 2010 Winter Olympics, while offering
athletes a beautiful, challenging experience in a world-class venue. The
event is scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 25, 2013, and will be the 31st running
of IRONMAN Canada.
“Whistler is recognized worldwide as a sought-after travel and outdoor
recreation destination. As the new host community of IRONMAN Canada,
Whistler will immediately earn a reputation as a triathlon destination,”
said Steve Meckfessel, Managing Director of Global Race Operations for WTC.
“With its accessibility to major west coast markets, stunning beauty and
tourism infrastructure, Whistler will resonate with our athletes, their
families and fans of IRONMAN.”
The race will start with a two-loop, 2.4-mile swim in the clean shallow
waters of Alta Lake at Rainbow Park, which has an average water temperature
of 67 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit in late August. Athletes will enjoy a
lakeside transition before starting a one-loop 112-mile bike course that is
comparable in difficulty to the bike route at IRONMAN Lake Placid, IRONMAN
Coeur d’Alene, and the previous IRONMAN Canada. Athletes will travel south
on the Sea-to-Sky Highway before climbing into the Callaghan Valley, site of
the Nordic skiing events during the 2010 Winter Olympics. After descending
back to the highway, athletes pass through Whistler on their way north to
Pemberton. An out-and-back section allows athletes breathtakingly beautiful
views of glaciated peaks, while racing on a completely flat section of road.
Athletes return to Whistler via the Sea-to-Sky Highway over rolling terrain
. The two-loop run course follows the meandering Valley Trail past Lost Lake
and Green Lake allowing spectators to reinvigorate athletes with a return
through Whistler Village at the halfway point of the run before finishing
adjacent to Whistler Olympic Plaza.
“We are absolutely thrilled, and honoured, that Whistler has been chosen
from among some of the country’s most spectacular destinations to host
IRONMAN Canada,” said Breton Murphy, Tourism Whistler’s Director of
Partnerships and lead for the Whistler Organizing Committee, which responded
to the request for proposals by WTC.
“Whistler is a world-class, all-season resort with a global reputation for
producing and hosting international events of the highest calibre,” said
Murphy. “IRONMAN Canada is a natural fit for our resort – and being
selected as its new home speaks to Whistler’s ability to deliver an
exceptional experience for both athletes and spectators.” | g**********r
