Thanks to all the volunteers and athletes who made our 28th edition a success! See you next year.
"There are those of us who are always about to live. We are waiting until things change, until there is more time, until we are less tired, until we get a promotion, until we settle down / until, until, until. It always seems as if there is some major event that must occur in our lives before we begin living." George Sheehan

Welcome Athletes!
The Nelson Athletic Association invites you to participate in our 28th ANNUAL SWIM, BIKE, and RUN triathlon event centered around beautiful Lakeside Park on August 1, 2010. This triathlon continues to be an event for everyone from top-ranking amateurs to adult and youth participants who are entering for pure enjoyment. We continue to have an adult sprint course for people who are just breaking into the world of triathlons and team events ideal for family participation. Fly the virtual course with Google Earth on our "The Course" page. As well as your tri gear, bring your trail shoes, mtn bike and kayak and come and enjoy our beautiful community for the long weekend in August. You just might not leave.
Please take few minutes to review the local race rules and ITU's rules on our "The Course" page.
