New route for Cowichan Challenge Triathlon
The bridge is out but the race is on.
The Chemainus River Bridge is being replaced, forcing the Cowichan Challenge Triathlon to utilize a different bike route this year. The new route will be through Chemainus and Saltair.
The event takes place Sunday, July 14 at Fuller Lake Park.
The swim in Fuller Lake is followed by the cycle route and a run through the woods.
The entry cost from July 2 to 13 is $65. A $15 insurance fee is tacked on for non-TriBC members.
