IRONMAN has announced that the 2025 IRONMAN Canada-Ottawa triathlon has officially sold out of general registration over a year in advance of the new event.
For those still trying to gain entry into the new event, a limited number of entries remain available through The IRONMAN Foundation and Enhanced Athlete Event Experiences powered by NIRVANA. The first edition of the IRONMAN Canada-Ottawa triathlon, part of the VinFast IRONMAN North America Series is scheduled to take place on Sunday, August 3, 2025
“We are excited to see Ottawa immediately become a highly desirable race venue in such a short period of time,” said Keats McGonigal, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, North America for The IRONMAN Group.
“When we first identified Ottawa as a potential host location, we knew that this beautiful city would be a compelling race destination that athletes would find exciting. We can’t wait for our athletes to come and experience some of what makes Ottawa so special and a truly unique IRONMAN race location next summer.”
For athletes who may have missed out on registering for the 2025 IRONMAN Canada-Ottawa triathlon, regional events such as the 2025 Athletic Brewing IRONMAN Lake Placid triathlon are currently open for registration.
The 2025 IRONMAN Canada-Ottawa triathlon will begin with a 3.8km (2.4-mile) two-loop swim in the Ottawa River from Britannia Beach and Park. From there athletes will embark on a 2.75 loop bike course using closed parkways that pass through the city of Ottawa made available by the National Capital Commission.
Once through the 180km bike course, the athletes will transition to the run in the downtown core of Ottawa and start their marathon from the base of Parliament Hill. The two-loop course will utilize some of the same completely closed parkways the bike used but extended beyond those areas once again to trace along the Rideau Canal and the streets in front of Ottawa’s parliament.
IRONMAN adds that athletes will enjoy an urban setting with a healthy dose of scenery along the Ottawa River and the Rideau Canal. The IRONMAN Canada-Ottawa triathlon, part of the VinFast IRONMAN North America Series, will offer qualifying slots to the 2026 VinFast IRONMAN World Championship triathlons.
