Event Description
(provided by race organizer)The GRAVELMAN Canada Triathlon and Duathlon for Cancer is a not-for-profit, community-based sporting event that is held in Fredericton, NB. The race is renowned for its safe, innovative short course, multi-loop racing format that is highly suitable for “gravel” bikes. The event also serves as a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society.
GRAVELMAN was the first ever race of its kind to be held in Canada in 2024. The inaugural event received overwhelming positive reviews and was featured in the September issue of Triathlon Canada Magazine. The 2025 edition will take place on Sunday, July 20th.

GRAVELMAN is held in the beautiful 1200-acre forested Killarney Lake Park which is located on the north side of the St. John River, just 7.5 km from the centre of the city and easily accessible by car. It is also served by City Transit on an hourly basis.

The swim leg takes place in warm and sheltered Killarney Lake, the bike leg is a 10 km loop throughout the park's Nordic ski trails and the run leg is a 2 km loop around the main lakeside walking trail. The bike leg is suitable for gravel bikes in addition to mountain bikes and fat bikes.
