The Alberta Centennial Triathlon Festival will host Edmonton’s ITU World Cup Triathlon on Saturday, July 23 at Hawrelak Park.

Edmonton is, once again, expecting a strong spectator turnout as they support these spectacular athletes. We are looking forward to another memorable triathlon event on July 23!
