As a reminder, an email will be sent to all participants and the application will be open 3 weeks before each race and will close the day before the event and a $20 fee will be required to complete the EOI to encourage only serious athletes to claim a spot.  Here is the link from which athletes can submit their EOI: https://ccnbikes.com/#!/events/trimemphre-gatineau-triathlon-canada-2023-age-group-eoi. Athletes wishing to do the Olympic Triathlon, Sprint Triathlon or Aquathlon, but not interested in the World Championships, do not need to complete the EOI.
