Toronto Island – 2025 Recap
This past weekend, athletes crossed the waters of Lake Ontario to take on the vibrant Toronto Island Triathlon & Duathlon, a summer tradition that never disappoints. Nestled at Hanlan’s Point, just a short ferry ride away from downtown (or perhaps a casual swim warm-up for the more ambitious athletes), this race offers a course unlike any other. With views of the harbor, the skyline rising from the morning fog, a green oasis right in the heart of the bustling metropolis, the setting is as memorable as the race itself.
But it’s not just the scenery that makes this event special, it’s the atmosphere. The Toronto Island Triathlon is more than a race; it’s a celebration of endurance, camaraderie, and community. Athletes and spectators alike are treated to an unforgettable experience, with a course that is both challenging and rewarding, and crowds that bring an electric energy to every swim stroke, pedal, and stride. Whether you were chasing a personal best or simply soaking in the moment, this year’s event proved once again why the Toronto Island Triathlon is a highlight of the racing season.
The early morning race jitters were matched by blustery winds as athletes dove into the swim start. From there, competitors took on the bike route along the quieter west side between Hanlan’s Point and Centre Island, a stretch that balanced smooth roads with scenic lakefront views that showcased the best of Toronto Island.
The multi-loop run course brought the energy to another level, with crowds of cheering spectators fueling athletes through every stride. With weather that was warm but not sweltering, conditions proved ideal for both fast racing and lasting memories, making the day a celebration of performance, community, and the unique charm of Toronto Island racing.
