Just Tri-It

Join us for fun, fitness, and friendship.

‘Tri’ something new with a fun and positive group of women.  Improve your physical and mental well-being in a social setting while we train together for the St. Malo Triathlon (Try-a-Tri distance) on June 27th, 2026.

The Just Tri-It (JTI) program is an encouraging and supportive group that wants to help you lead a fun, healthy life.  Our program is based on the highly successful Saskatoon program that has introduced hundreds of women, just like yourself, to triathlon over the past 20 years.  You do not need to be an athlete - you just need the courage to ‘Tri’ it!  Not a swimmer, cyclist, or runner?  You are perfect for this program.  ALL shapes and abilities are welcome.  Just bring your positive I’ll Tri It attitude.

Meet new friends or convince your co-worker, friend, sister, or mom to join you.  Spots are limited to ensure everyone has lots of support from our coaches – so register early!

This 11-week program runs from April 12th to June 27th and includes:

• 3 sessions per week, one of each swimming, biking, and running

  • Bike sessions:   Tuesday 7:00-8:00pm, various locations around the city
