The Subaru Sooke Triathlon is staged in the charming setting of Sooke, a beautiful ocean-side community located in the western communities of Greater Victoria known for its lush evergreen forests, rainforest, picturesque coastal scenery, rugged cliffs and sandy beaches. It is a haven for both leisure and extreme activities including year-round charter fishing, scuba diving, windsurfing, hiking, zip-lining, and surfing. The race course features a swim in Young Lake, a small, calm, warm lake, followed by an amazing closed bike course on beautiful West Coast Road hugging the Pacific Ocean along the Pacific Marine Circle Route. The run course includes a journey out on to Whiffin Spit, a narrow 1km trail where the Pacific Ocean surrounds the athletes on both sides as they run towards a lighthouse. This is an event not to be missed!
