The Lees Trail Triathlon is a short-course triathlon that is open to participants from all athletic backgrounds. We pride ourselves in providing a triathlon which is inclusive, fun and non-intimidating.

Proceeds from this event will be donated to organizations that work to eliminate homophobia in BC schools.

This event is held in memory of Aaron Webster. Aaron was a victim of gay bashing; he was murdered in Stanley Park in November 2001. Sponsored by Pacific Multisport

A note about the swim: We organize the swim in 3 waves. We ask that you estimate your swim time when you register. We start the slower swimmers first; the faster swimmers go last. This allows us to keep the athletes from getting too spread out and also helps us finish the race sooner.

Most athletes finish the swim in 16 minutes or less. If your estimated swim time is between about 12 and 16 minutes, you’ll probably be in the first wave, starting at 8.00. If your estimated time is from 9 to 12 minutes, you’ll probably be in wave 2, starting about 8.20. If you expect to complete the swim in under 9 minutes, you’ll likely be in wave 3, starting about 8.35.

What’s included in the bike check? Brakes, wheels, seat, and handlebars are checked to make sure that nothing is loose or “dysfunctional”. The bike check is optional, but if you haven’t taken it out for a spin lately, it’s a good idea to make sure it’s roadworthy.
