About the Alberta Triathlon Association

In 1984, the Alberta Triathlon Association became the official, non-profit governing body for multi-sport events throughout Alberta.

The Sport

The creation of triathlon came from an idea of a multisport event that consisted of running and swimming.

In The Community

Introduced to Alberta in 1982, the basis behind triathlon drew Albertans to the sport just like it had back when it was first created. It was about living a healthy lifestyle by exercising and testing the body and mind.
