There is always something exciting to watch. While athletes are out on the road spectators can shop in downtown Collingwood or may browse the vendor booths at the event. The proceeds from the event will be used to help support the Alpine Ontario South junior ski program. Jeff Thompson, who is the General Manager of the Alpine Ontario South Office and past member of the Canadian National Triathlon Team is organizing the event and will also serve as the race director for the tenth year. Thompson's many years of race experience are demonstrated when organizing the Collingwood Triathlon.
Many racers comment each year on the outstanding organization, and the quality of the event.
