With triathlon season on the horizon, you’re probably signing up for races and renewing your provincial membership.
But where does that money actually go?
In Fitspeek 232, we sit down with triathlon directors Allan Prazsky (BC), Sebastian Porten (Alberta), and Dr. Yvonne Cafik (Saskatchewan) to talk race sanctioning, membership trends, participation numbers, and the real work happening behind the scenes to grow the sport in Western Canada.
In addition to nerding out on numbers, we talk frankly about the future of our sport. In light of the recent death of Canadian triathlete Hannah Henry, the tragedy at the Penticton Fondo, and the cancellation of the Elk Lake Triathlon, the elephant in the room is hard to ignore: the risks of riding on open roads — and the rising costs required to keep our events safe. Whether you are a race director, an active participant, or an interested observer, this is a podcast worth hearing. Click below.
