The Triathlon BC Sanctioned, Lake Windermere Aquathlon BC Provincial Championship Long Course event is a premier multisport event held at the iconic Kinsmen Beach in heart of the spectacular Columbia Valley. This event is a continuous multisport event, meaning that the transition is timed and is considered part of the overall scoring for the event. Aquathlon is governed under the same rules as triathlon, so no additional swim aids are permitted other than wetsuits.
The Aquathlon Long Course consists of 2 x 750m swim laps around Kinsmen Bay, in Invermere BC. Participants should come prepared to swim in cold water. After exiting the swim course, participants will transition into running shoes for a 10km run (10 x 1km laps) around the closed-course, paved pathway system surrounding Dorothy Lake.

Spectators may watch the entire event from Kinsmen Beach and surrounding area, although the pathway system around Dorothy Lake is closed for the race. There are cafe's and pubs within viewing area.
