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.
