The new race, sponsored by Subaru, will see athletes tackle a 1.9km (1.2-mile) swim, 90km (56-mile) bike and 21.1km (26.2-mile) run on the same terrain as Subaru Ironman Canada. The race will start with a single-loop swim in the pristine waters of Alta Lake, before starting a one-loop bike course that travels south to the Callaghan Valley, north through Whistler to Rutherford Creek, before returning to the heart of Whistler.
