June 14th was a particularly special day for me. Not only was Exceleration Triathlon and MultiSport Club celebrating their 26th Tri-It Triathlon but with RBC as presenting sponsor I had the incredible opportunity to announce the race and welcome a record-breaking 580+ youth participants ranging in ages from 0 to 19! Seeing hundreds of young athletes challenge themselves, cross the finish line, and discover what they're capable of was truly inspiring.
Exceleration continues to be an outstanding non-profit organization that emphasizes respect for others and oneself, inclusion, generosity, gratitude, and the spirit of sport and healthy competition. These values were on full display throughout the day as athletes, families, volunteers, and community partners came together to create an unforgettable experience.
The Tri-It Triathlon provides a fantastic opportunity for children and youth to build confidence, independence, physical literacy, and a lifelong love of healthy activity in a welcoming and supportive environment. Whether it was a first-time participant or a returning athlete, every young person had a chance to succeed and celebrate their accomplishments.
It's especially rewarding to see RBC supporting the community in such a meaningful, grassroots way. Investing in programs that help young people thrive, develop healthy habits, and build confidence is exactly the kind of impact that strengthens our communities for generations to come.
Congratulations to the entire Exceleration team, the volunteers, sponsors, parents, and most importantly, the incredible young athletes who made this year's event the biggest and best yet!
