Now&#8217;s the perfect time to join a triathlon\u00a0club. A great place to find a training group is at a\u00a0 Canadian university. In recent years the sport has become quite popular in academic circles. It&#8217;s a great way to meet people and encourages an active healthy lifestyle. The great thing about these groups is that they aren&#8217;t reserved\u00a0for just students. For example, having worked with the McGill Triathlon club, the group has a mix of undergrad and graduate students, as well\u00a0as a few professors and a bunch of 9 AM &#8211; 5 PM working professionals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/triathlonmagazine.ca\/racing\/canadians-world-university-games\/\">Canadians at the World University Triathlon Championship<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Quebec<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mcgill-triathlon.com\/\">McGill University<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.triathlonsherbrooke.com\/tribu\">Bishop&#8217;s University<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.triathlonsherbrooke.com\/\">Universite de\u00a0Sherbrooke and Sherbrooke Triathlon Club<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cepsum.umontreal.ca\/carabins-et-clubs-sportifs\/clubs-sportifs\/#Ski\">Universite de Montreal<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Ontario<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/uofttriathlon.com\/\">University of Toronto<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwo.ca\/campusrec\/sport_clubs\/list_of_recreation_sport_clubs\/triathlon.html\">University of Western Ontario<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/uotc.weebly.com\/\">University of Ottawa<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gogaelsgo.com\/sports\/2008\/9\/20\/TRI_0920085927.aspx?path=tri\">Queen&#8217;s University<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/rec.mcmaster.ca\/activities\/triathlon-training\">McMaster University<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/warrior.uwaterloo.ca\/Program\/GetProgramDetails?courseId=5fa399cc-eb19-45b4-b343-2317867c370c&amp;semesterId=2bf073b6-417e-40f3-b7ef-bb1857676008\">University of Waterloo<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Saskatchewan<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uregina.ca\/recservices\/clubs\/Triathlon\/Index.html\">University of Regina<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/m.recservices.usask.ca\/campus-rec\/join-a-club\/triathlon.php\">University of Saskatchewan<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Alberta<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ualberta.ca\/kinesiology-sport-recreation\/campus-community-recreation\/club-sports\/traithlon\">University of Alberta<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucalgary.ca\/ActiveLiving\/registration\/Program\/triathlonclub?path=Field_Triathlon\">University of Calgary<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>British Columbia<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/recreation.ubc.ca\/intramurals\/events\/ubc-tri-du\/\">University of British Columbia<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/vikesrec.ca\/sports\/2015\/5\/27\/Cl_0527154548.aspx?id=128\">University of Victoria<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>University triathlon clubs aren&#8217;t reserved just for students<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5312,"featured_media":24179,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,10393],"tags":[373164,373165,373162,371724,373163,373161],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Back to School: Canadian University Triathlon Clubs - Triathlon Magazine Canada<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"It&#039;s back to school and a time in the year of new beginnings.
