Foundations

The foundations of our program are based on fun, safety, respect, and personal achievement in a supportive team atmosphere.  We believe that triathlon not only develops swimming, cycling, and running skills, but teaches life lessons in commitment, dedication, and healthy living. Our goal as coaches is to deliver these lessons in a safe, fun, and supportive environment.

Human Powered Racing is proud to host a number of youth triathlons on Vancouver Island, including the Victoria Youth Triathlon, the Triathlon of Compassion, and the Cowichan Challenge.
