We are actively working on the registration process for 2021. We will update the website with information as soon as we can. And, for those of you who are on the HTC email list, we will send you an email to let you know when registration is open. We hope to see you all soon (or… at least virtually 😎). Keep up the training and be sure to stay connected with your fellow triathletes in the HTC Facebook group!

Have you heard about the 2021 Maritimes Triathlon Training Challenge? Triathlon Nova Scotia is inviting all Triathlon NS, Triathlon NB, and Triathlon PEI members to participate! The challenge is to train 6,346 km in 2021 while completing two training challenges. 1) The Maritimes Bubble Challenge – to train the distance of the cycling route around the 3 Maritime Provinces (2,963 km.) starting on January 1. Our goal is to finish this Challenge by June 25 so we can charter a jet overnight to Brest, France in time to start our 2nd Challenge on June 26…. 2) The 2021 Tour de France Challenge – We will join the start of the Tour on June 26 and our challenge is to complete the entire 3,383 km. Tour de France route by December 31, 2021. Sound like fun? It will be! To complete both Challenges you will need to train 6,346 km. during the year (about 122 km/week). The goal for some will be to complete the Maritimes tour by the end of the year (57 km/week).AND….there’s one added challenge for anyone who completes the Maritimes Bubble route by the end of April – we’ll fly you virtually to Edinburgh, Scotland so you can swim, bike, and run 1,145 km. to join the rest of us at the start line of the Tour de France in Brest, France on June 26.If you accept this challenge, here’s what you need to do: For more information and to sign-up, check out the Triathlon Nova Scotia Facebook page.

With our races cancelled, deferred or morphed into virtual events, we learned to re-think and adjust how and why we train. And, how we race! There were many opportunities to participate in virtual events. One such event was presented by Triathlon Nova Scotia! Thanks TNS for this fun event! On January 1, 2020, over 60 Nova Scotia triathletes challenged themselves to swim, bike, and run the distance from Halifax to Victoria by the end of the year – a total of 6,164 km. 33 people successfully completed the journey by December 31. More importantly, this fun challenge kept us all motivated and engaged during what turned out to be a difficult year for all endurance athletes. Starting in Halifax and heading west, we set a goal destination to reach each month and the participants posted their total monthly distance at the end of each month so we could track everyone’s progress. We arrived! Great work everyone! Interested in learning more about what Triathlon Nova Scotia is offering up for 2021? Check out the Triathlon Nova Scotia Facebook page here.
