Due to a variety of factors, the 2021 Frank Dunn Triathlon date has been changed to August 15, 2021. Traditionally this race has been held the week after the August long weekend. However, the next two years will be two weeks after the long weekend.
If you were registered for the 2020 Frank Dunn Triathlon and cannot attend the 2021 race, please contact us.
Dear registrants of the Frank Dunn Triathlon,
We are very sorry to have to make this announcement. This year’s race will not be taking place due to restrictions by provincial and federal governments. We have entertained the idea of holding a race for the number that we would be allowed to participate and with the number of volunteers we need to insure a safe course. However, we cannot financially afford to run with that ratio.
For all those who have entered, we will defer to next year’s event on August 8, 2021 with no additional fees added on. We will keep the entry open this year for next year’s race, with the price increase on January 1, 2021. The team entry, as in the past, will open on April 15, 2021.
I am very disappointed to have to make this announcement, but am looking forward to returning to a more normal year where we can safely put on this event for everybody to come to Waskesiu and experience this great venue for a triathlon.
Thank you.
Mark Nagy,
Frank Dunn Race Director

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 39th Frank Dunn Triathlon on August 11, 2019! Conditions couldn’t have been better for the 96 individuals and 54 teams registered. Seriously, what a gorgeous day! The volunteers were great and the spectators cheered loudly for their athletes. The weather was certainly better than last year when people wore their winter jackets!
The men’s race was a battle to the end with Wyatt Kuntz (2:47:20) from Warman beating out Curtis Earl (2:49:58) of Saskatoon to take the men’s title.
Anne Marie Charles from Prince Albert showed that she is as talented as her big sister Christina, who is off to Ironman Kona in October, to be the women’s winner with a time of 3:05:43 beating out Jackie Hatherly (3:06:32) from Regina.
Also congratulations to the winning teams:
Black Roses (Mixed Team) – 2:55:41
Run Like the Winded (Male Team) – 3:14:53
Byers & Tiede (Female Team) – 3:20:41
Congratulations to all the athletes that came out and enjoyed the most beautiful course in Saskatchewan for the oldest triathlon in Western Canada!
Of course, the Frank Dunn Triathlon wouldn’t be complete without the photos of our official race photographer, Bob Holtsman. As a fellow athlete, he is well-versed in taking amazing action shots! Please credit Bob in any of the places you choose to share the photos. If you would like printed copies, let Bob know!
