BEAT THE COLD 2022

Beat the Cold is an annual triathlon hosted by 1JustCity and TriFactor where weekend warriors, super athletes and fun-letes will run, bike, skate, sled, ski, etc! in the frigid February weather.

The Event

For the last three years, the wildest Winnipeggers have beaten the cold so others don’t have to.

This year, from February 1-14, 2022, they’ll do it again!

UPDATE: Beat the Cold 2022 has been moved to a fully virtual event. Please contact beatthecold@1justcity.ca if you have any questions regarding your registration, volunteering, or sponsorships.

The In-Person Race (February 12, 2022) - CANCELLED

The Virtual Race (February 1 - 14, 2022)

For our virtual race, you can create your own course with your choice of sports and location, or you can race our original triathlon by running, skating, and biking for a minimum of 5km each.

If you choose to Challenge Your Course, choose at least two winter sports you love. You can skate, ski, snowshoe, toboggan, or even roll a snowball uphill. It’s up to you, so get creative with it! Just make sure your race has three distinct legs. There's no minimum distance!

If you choose to Challenge the Course by doing our traditional triathlon route, try to beat your time from last year! We’ll provide this year’s race route for you to follow.

To track your race and be entered to win a daily prize, use the Strava app (or any other GPS app) and submit your race legs using the Beat the Cold Race Submission Form. Entries must be submitted by 6:00 p.m. the day you race to be counted. Otherwise, they’ll carry over and be drawn with the next day’s entries.

You can see our pre-tracked triathlon race legs on Strava by clicking below.

The Cause

100% of the Beat The Cold profits will go toward Just a Warm Sleep, 1JustCity’s overnight emergency warming centre in our newly-renovated Oak Table space.

Every night from December through March, Just a Warm Sleep invites up to 30 people experiencing homelessness into its outreach site at 107 Pulford Street to get a safe, warm sleep.
