Triathlon BC is pleased to launch the 2026 Provincial Team Program, supporting Junior and U23 Canadian Sport Institute–Pacific (CSI-P) registered athletes who are progressing along the high-performance pathway. The program provides athletes with access to a structured, team-based environment that emphasizes long-term development through targeted training, physiological testing, camps, and stage-appropriate racing opportunities at the regional, national, and international level.

The Provincial Team is open to Junior athletes (ages 16–19) and U23 athletes (ages 20–23) competing in draft-legal super sprint and sprint formats. Athletes must meet CSI-P targeted athlete criteria, with full eligibility and selection details outlined in the linked program document.

The program is led by Provincial Coach Kelly Guest, who brings more than 15 years of experience working with youth, junior, and U23 athletes. Kelly holds an MSc in High Performance Coaching and Technical Leadership, an Advanced Coaching Diploma, and is a Certified NCCP Competition Coach, and has supported numerous athletes to national and international success.

Provincial Team athletes benefit from a comprehensive support environment, including:

  • Provincial Team race gear and apparel

  • Access to physiological testing and performance assessments

  • Discounted participation in 94 Forward training camps

  • Subsidized Provincial Team racing projects and partner discounts

Athletes have access to Provincial Team Racing Projects, which provide meaningful competition experiences across Western Canada, North America, and internationally. Project selection is limited and based on carding level, performance standards, and racing objectives. Athletes will submit Expressions of Interest for projects early in the season to help with planning for the season ahead.

Triathlon BC will also host two Provincial Team camps in Victoria in partnership with 94 Forward (February and May 2026), focused on training progression, race skills, and performance benchmarking, while fostering strong team connections among athletes.

A Provincial Team Open House (Zoom) will be held on Thursday, January 15, 2026 at 7:00 PM, providing athletes and families an opportunity to learn more about the program and ask questions.
