Cornwall Community Hospital wishes to thank all participants and volunteers for making the 2009 Triathlon weekend a huge success. 2009 saw a 56% increase in participation over the two days including a 92% increase in the adult event. The Cornwall Triathlon received over 100 survey responses indicating the overwhelming success of the race. All suggestions have been documented and the committee is already making the necessary adjustments to make 2010 even better.
The Cornwall Hospital Triathlon offers a unique experience that sets it apart from other triathlons in the area. Partnering with the City of Cornwall the Cornwall Hospital Triathlon features traffic free courses in the city core on both event days.
Saturday events include a Duathlon of varying distances for ages 13 & under and a Triathlon of varying distances with a pool swim for ages 7-13. The Sunday events include 5km run, Try-A-Tri, Sprint, Olympic and Sprint Relay Triathlon distances and a Sprint Duathlon.
The Cornwall Hospital Triathlon has seen a marked increase in out-of-town athletes choosing Cornwall as their destination to compete. We attribute this interest to the fact that our race course is challenging and safe and is supported by a great team of volunteers. Each year we receive numerous compliments from athletes who have raced elsewhere and tell us how well organized this event is.
We welcome everyone, young and old, to take part in our wonderful event either as an athlete, volunteer or spectating.
