The 2013 Pharmasave Christina Lake Triathlon was another great success. We are so thankful to the sponsors that provided materials and funds in order to make the event meaningful and affordable to all the participants.
To the many volunteers who gave up their Sunday morning to administer all the technical and safety details necessary to provide a fun and exciting triathlon, we applaud your service.
2014 will be the 10th anniversary for the Pharmasave Christina Lake Triathlon. Christina Lake Recreation wants to make it a memorable event. Mark Sunday, June 22, 2014 on your calendar.
