Each location was chosen for its iconic trails and stunning natural backdrops, ensuring that each race in the series is not just a test of physical stamina but also a journey through some of the most picturesque terrains in British Columbia. As Allan Prazsky, Executive Director of Triathlon BC, puts it, "The launch of the BC X Tri Series is an incredible opportunity to showcase our province's exceptional off-road capabilities and to advance the sport of off-road triathlon."

This format is designed to build a sense of community and ongoing engagement among the athletes, encouraging them to push their limits across multiple events.
Registration for all four races is now open, and athletes are encouraged to sign up early to secure their spots.
