Event date: July 7th, 2013.
Location: at the Kelso Quarry in Milton, Ontario, Canada (part of the Kelso Conservation Area).
Address: 5437 Steeles Ave, Milton Ontario
The Quarry entrance is located approximately 500m East of the Summit entrance to the Kelso Trails
This is a location that is sure to provide a spectacular course- whether you are a seasoned athlete or first-timer to the world of multi-sport races. The swim will take place in the spring-fed, baby blue waters of the Kelso Quarry. The bike portion of this race will take place within Kelso Conservation Area- home to some of the area’s best mountain bike trails, while the run will follow along various escarpment trails!
This is a fast and flowing course, which constantly changes from double to single track and back again. There are lots of opportunities for passing, and racers are treated to several vista views on the run course.
