Only five months to go until the Penticton Multisport Festival

Five months and counting until the inaugural ITU Multisport World Championships Festival in beautiful Penticton, Canada! We’ve been talking to athletes from around the world who are joining us in August and every week the excitement builds.

Last Monday we released the first of six World Championship course maps. The Sprint Duathlon World Championship course was revealed on social media and is now online on our website. Every Monday for the next five weeks we’ll be releasing a new World Championship course map, stop by this week to see what’s revealed next!

Planning to compete in four World Championship events? All athletes that complete four events will be crowned a MULTISPORT LEGEND and will receive a special ultra-exclusive belt buckle, will be honored at a special awards ceremony on Sunday, August 27th and will have bragging rights for life. Did you qualify for one World Championship event but are you interested in taking on the MULTISPORT LEGEND challenge? You can race other events as an Open Wave athlete.
