World Triathlon is pleased to announce the Montreal World Triathlon Para Series circuit in 2022, with an event that will welcome the 80 best para triathletes of the world.
The World Triathlon Para Series Montreal will be hosted on Friday July 8, two weeks after the Groupe Copley Sprint & Relay Championships in Montreal. The Parc Jean Drapeau, where the Formula 1 circuit is located, will be the perfect scenario for medal events – six male and six female – scheduled for the second stage of the Para Series in 2022.
The spectacular venue at the Parc will see the athletes take to the Bassin Olympique for the 750m swim before transitioning out and onto five laps of the Gilles-Villeneuve race track, home of the F1 Grand Prix. The race concludes with one lap of the lake, giving the athletes an iconic setting to finish the race.
The Montreal Para Series will be the second stop of the series this year, after Yokohama and before Swansea, with the para triathletes then ready for the World Championships that will take place in Abu Dhabi in November 2022.
The 2022 season will bring perfect opportunities for all para triathletes to test their performances before the Paralympic qualification period starts in June 2023. For the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, three more medal events have been added to the programme, which means that all classes except the PTS3 women will have a medal event at the Paralympics.
World Triathlon wants to thank Triathlon Canada, the local organizing committee, the local promoter (Podium Productions), Sport Canada, the Quebec government as well as the city of Montréal, for again showing their total support for our sport and helping us delivering another magnificent event in Montreal, as well as providing great racing opportunities for all athletes.
