Canada Man XTRI is one of the world’s toughest triathlon events. The 3.8km swim, 180km bike and 42km run takes athletes through 4000m of elevation to finish at the observatory on a local peak in Lac-Megantic, Canada.
Now fans can take in all of the action with a new boxset of events from 2017 through 2019, and additional original documentaries. These are being made available for free on specialist channel Endurance Sports TV.
The new series, launching this Friday (5th June), charts the event over the last three years, as well as documentaries following athletes through their personal journey to the event and over the epic challenges the course throws at them.
“This is one of those events that many aspire to. There are long distance triathlons, and then there is Canada Man,” said Paul Shanley from Endurance Sports TV. “The new boxset we are launching this week will be our biggest and best celebration of the race. If you have ever been inspired to take on a challenge – you can’t help but be inspired by this incredible event and everyone who takes it on.”
With official coverage from the last three years, the boxset also takes viewers on a journey over a three-part original documentary series. This follows Mark and Caroline Livesey, exploring the relationships they made along the way and what drives them to compete in one of the world’s toughest events.
“I feel privileged to have raced all around the world,” said Mark Livesey, “but there is nothing quite like Canada Man. Although you start together, it is one of those events that you race almost entirely on your own. The only time you see another athlete is if you are overtaking them, or they are overtaking you. It is a battle of wills and true physical endurance. You’ve got to watch it to believe it.”
The opportunity to access all of the events and documentaries is open to everyone across all of the Endurance Sports TV platforms (Web, iOS, Android, Amazon Firestick and Roku).
Paul Shanley added “All fans need to do is create an account with Endurance Sports TV where you can get the full Canada Man boxset action, along with over 400 additional endurance programmes, free over the next three months.”
Endurance Sports TV is a TV channel dedicated to endurance sport. The channel is usually available on a subscription basis for £5.99 per month, however, is being opened up for free during lockdown, with no obligation to continue thereafter.
