SAIL Challenge Montréal 2027
A middle-distance triathlon in Montréal: a swim in the Olympic Basin, a multi-lap bike on the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve and a run on the 1976 Olympic site.
49 weeks to race day: base season
Plenty of runway. This far out, the win is a boring, consistent base rhythm: aerobic volume, strength, technique. The structured block starts closer in; what you do now decides how high it can climb.
Building for this one? 70.3 training plan covers the sessions, the weekly shape and how the block is paced. The R.A.C.E. Framework explains why it is built that way.
Build my complete road.
Commit to the date and the work gets a shape: your countdown starts, the emails arrive in step with your build, and the app anchors a recovery-led block so the final week lands exactly on race day.
One confirmation email, then the road begins. Registering for the race itself stays with the organiser.
“The bike is multiple laps on the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve and the run is on the 1976 Olympic site. The organiser publishes no distances or elevation figure.”
