We were proud to have been the hosts of the 1998 National Tetrathlon Championships which were held in the Aurora, Ontario area combined with an International Challenge competition involving teams from Canada, the USA, Ireland, and Great Britain.
In this Region, club level competitions take place in a shortened format known as "mini-meets". Mini-meets are three event competitions comprising running, swimming, and shooting. Mini-meets serve as training events leading up to the Regional Finals.
Competitors accumulating a minimum of 3200 points qualify to participate at a National Final. For more information about Tetrathlon, please check the National Tetrathlon General Information page.
