TRI-FEST 2006 has started its second week of events with the ever-popular BMO Financial Group Downtown Dash. The last single-sport event on the schedule was a huge success with a very large number of athletes taking part. There were especially large numbers for the 5 km downtown dash, with 153 competitors. Although the dark clouds covered Corner Brook’s skies, the rain stayed away long enough for the races to finish.

TRI-FEST 2006 is still going strong with the highly anticipated ITU Duathlon World Championships taking place this weekend, on July 29th and 30th.

The Corner Brook BG Triathlon World Cup was a spectacular event on Sunday, July 23rd. The day showed a fabulous turnout of spectators and volunteers, despite overcast skies. Everyone came with smiles to cheer on their favourite athletes.

The Sir Richards Squires Parking lot was buzzing with excitement today as TRI-FEST 2006 celebrated the 25th Annual Corner Brook Triathlon. The women were first to dip into the Glynmill Pond on Sunday morning at 7:00 a.m., while the men braved the 22 degree waters at 7:30 a.m. The Sprint, Super-Sprint and Team participants dove off the swim pontoon at 8:00 a.m.
