Vancouver T100 Triathlon 2026

Who should cross for this

Competitive and recreational triathletes, junior athletes and families, endurance spectators, and international race travelers.

The event is an international professional tour stop in a Pacific-facing city and is designed to attract traveling professional and amateur athletes.

Suggested trip length: 4 nights for participants; 3 for spectators

Choose the right race day

Saturday’s provisional programme starts with the Olympic race at 6:30 a.m., followed by the sprint at 7:30 a.m., professional women at 11:05 a.m., and Junior Super Sprint at 2:30 p.m. The 100 km race is provisionally set for 6:30 a.m. Sunday, covering a 2 km swim, 80 km bike, and 18 km run.

Registration is dynamic. On July 17, the 100 km product was marked closed, while remaining distances displayed limited last-chance prices. Check availability, refund terms, and every mandatory race-day step before arranging non-refundable travel.

Watch from the waterfront

Locarno, Jericho, and Spanish Banks form an attractive viewing corridor, although long bike loops and road controls make following every phase difficult. Pick one or two viewing areas, bring layers and sun protection, and expect a substantial walk. The City lists washrooms and seasonal beach amenities, while event-specific accessible viewing remains pending.

Water temperature and quality can also change race operations. Official measurement happens close to the start, and Vancouver Coastal Health publishes current beach advisories.

Plan the west-side transfer

Parking is limited and closures affect Discovery Street, Marine Drive, and UBC approaches. A west-side room reduces the early journey; downtown provides a wider choice of hotels and restaurants. TransLink service can be detoured, so recheck the final athlete guide, road notices, and trip planner shortly before the weekend.
