Because it's always good to back a backup costume, here's my attempt at being Coach Ben from True Trail Triathlon Coaching.

I might not be as fast, or as good looking, but for one day a year, I can dream.

If you have a fun outfit picked out for today, let us know below!

One of our favourite additions to the 2026 season was the "Believe Board".

It's an idea that came from Ben Cohen, seen in this video (in the white shirt and yellow vest) that was inspired by Ted Lasso.

It's a small detail but made our swim starts a lot more fun. Thank you to everyone who gave it a 'tap' before starting their race this year.

There's no hiding from winter!

Love it or hate it, our next event will have you swapping your running shoes with ski boots and skates.

The Winterlude Triathlon is the oldest Winter Triathlon in the world, and it's the most Canadian experience you'll ever have.

Come by an 8km skate, 5km run, and a 6km ski this January!

On Halloween, you can be anything or anyone that you want to be.

In a week from now, I'm going out for Halloween as Rick Hellard. If you know Rick, please tag him in this photo and see how many Rick-isms you can spot!

On top of all his accolades, Rick's swim club is back as our 2027 Swim Cap Sponsor. ROC Swimming & Zone3Sports have helped supply 10,000+ swim caps over the years, and turned latex into a fashion statement.

Every event means something different to every participant.

We've loved seeing so many of you celebrate at the finish line in 2026, and we can't wait to see you all again at another start line soon.

Congrats to everyone who challenged themselves this year!

If you have any goals for 2027, don't be shy to share them below.

At every race, we have volunteers, we have participants, and we have spectators.

It's hard to know which of those 3 groups has the most fun!

Here's a shout-out to everyone who comes out to see the action. We love having all that positive energy on the sidelines.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to all the volunteers who made our 2026 series possible.

We're so fortunate to have such great people in the community who are willing to help pull off these events.

If you have any messages for our volunteers, share them below!

At Somersault, it's not just about the run. It's about having fun with your friends, podium photos (even if you didn't get a podium spot), and making memories.

If you have a fun memory from 2026, share it below!

Our events are about more than the race itself.

One of our favourite additions to the series has been the Participant Wall. At every race, you'll find an 8 foot board with a list of every participant and every volunteer.

It's a pretty fun feeling when you find your name on the wall.

And after every event, we give the sign away, for free! If you do one of our events, be sure to read our post-race newsletter and enter the draw to win the sign!

Congrats to everyone who participated in the Fall Colours Run this weekend.

It was full of highlights, but we wanted to start by congratulating the couple that got engaged at the finish line on Sunday.

We hope you'll join us for the Wedding Dress Dash next year :)
