June 26, 2011, the Tribalistic Triathlon Team is once again proud to host the St. Malo Multisport Weekend at the St. Malo Provincial Park, 45 minutes from the city limits of Winnipeg. This race series is now in its 16th year, and 2011 promises to be an exciting year as in conjunction with the age group races, the first race of the Teck National Junior Elite series will be included in the St. Malo event. The Teck series showcases Canada's top Junior Elite triathletes in a draft-legal race series and we are proud to welcome Canada's Junior racers to the St. Malo course.
The St. Malo race will continue offering the three most popular Multisport events to its age group racers including Sprint and Olympic distance triathlons and the short distance Duathlon for athletes who prefer not to swim. The short distance Duathon includes a 2.5 km run, a 20km bike, and a 5 km run. Due to the tremendous growth of the St. Malo race over the past three years, it is expected that two Sprint Triathlon waves will be offered to accommodate more racers in the popular shorter distance event.
Additional changes for 2011 include:
Both Sprint and Olympic Triathlon distance race results will be tabulated in 5 year age categories. Previously Sprint results were categorized in 10 year age categories.
With the two wave sprint start, athletes will be informed of their wave start on Tuesday June 20th.
Price structure for race entry will be staggered in the following manner: April 25 - May 29 -- $55; May 30 - June 19 -- $65

St. Malo being a race early in the Triathlon Manitoba race series, makes it the perfect race for first time triathletes as well as showcasing seasoned veterans training accomplishments over the spring. The water is just warm enough for a comfortable swim and the air temperatures are generally warm, but cool enough as to not overheat on the run. The bike course is flat and fast. And this year, the Junior Elite race promises to bring some exciting competition to the popular St. Malo course and introduce the Manitoba triathlon community to Canada's future Olympic hopefuls in the sport of triathlon.
Please join the Tribalistic Triathlon Team at what promises to be the best St. Malo Multisport Weekend to date.
