Triathlon Canada —Internationally respected athletic garment brand named official apparel and compression supplier to Triathlon Canada Nation—

VICTORIA—The Triathlon Canada Nation will be sporting new race uniforms and team wear at start lines around the world in 2018, thanks to a new partnership established with 2XU Canada.

2XU Canada, the brand synonymous with triathlon, will supply all compression garments, training and racing apparel for Triathlon Canada’s high-performance athletes and age group teams in 2018.
