About the race
Welcome to the 4th Annual Copper Town Triathlon! Many people choose to travel around the province and even the country to race in these types of events. This year it will be close to home with the 4th annual Copper Town Triathlon being held in Bruce Mines, Ontario just a 45 minute drive from Sault Ste. Mare, Ontario.
The race features a beautiful course. The swim will start from the Bruce Mines Marina in the crisp clear waters of Bruce Bay on the shores of Lake Huron. It will then transition to the bike that will be a looped course down the tree lined roads of Copper Bay Road and finish with a scenic paved out and back run with a few hills to challenge athletes on Taylor Street.
The town of Bruce Mines founded in 1864 is home to the first copper mine in Canada. It is small and quaint with antique and specialty shops along with beautiful natural scenery. The community of Bruce Mines has welcomed this event over the years with open arms as the event continues to grow year after year.
We look forward to seeing you at the start line!
