Revolution3 Triathlon (REV3) has announced its second race in Canada for its 2017 series. Joining REV3 St Andrews, REV3 has confirmed the addition of REV3 Niagara Falls Barrelman. The race will take place on 17 September 2017 with the signature race being the HalfREV. There will also be a Half Aquabike, Half Relay and Half BikeRun.
For the last three years, this race has been produced by Multisport Canada under the Niagara Falls Barrelman Triathlon name and has experienced steady growth each year. Forging a new partnership with MultiSport Canada, REV3 has extended the event’s early bird pricing to 19 November. As the companies point out in a release, ‘US athletes can also take advantage of the very favourable currency exchange’.
“Showcasing Niagara Falls as a triathlon destination and joining forces with MultiSport Canada is a dream come true,” said Eric Opdyke, President of Revolution3 Triathlon. “Adding this race and working with this team is the perfect book end for a tremendous 2017 season.”
The Multisport Canada team will continue to produce the event. The partnership with REV3 ‘provides great synergies to bring customers an even better experience’.
“For 15 years MultiSport Canada has taken pride in producing superior quality races with the athlete’s safety and race experience top of mind,” said John Salt, President at MultiSport Canada. “The entire team at MultiSport Canada is excited to join REV3, an organization that shares the same values when it comes to putting athletes first.
“Over 2,200 athletes have enjoyed the Barrelman experience and, as we enter our fourth year in Niagara Falls, we are excited to welcome athletes from the REV3 Family. We will continue to deliver a safe, fun, memorable, and first class race experience. Please say hello on race day.”
The swim will take place at the Welland International Flatwater Centre in clean, canal water (68-72 degrees Fahrenheit). The fast and flat bike course will finish by the Niagara River. Athletes will then run through Kingsbridge Park, passing Niagara Falls multiple times. The highlight of the race is a two loop run course that takes athletes through the city of Niagara Falls and past the Canadian and American Falls twice.
