The 1998 National Tetrathlon Championships were hosted by the Western Ontario Region from August 16-21, 1998 in and around the Town of Aurora, Ontario only a few kilometers north of Toronto.

Included in the schedule was an International Challenge with the International teams from Canada, the USA, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.

The Town of Aurora has many interesting tourist attractions and shopping locations.       St. Andrew's College in Aurora will be the home site for the National and International competitions. The athletes will stay in residence at the college and have their meals prepared on site.


49 competitors took part in the National Championships representing the BC Interior and Northern Region, BC Lower Mainland Region, Alberta Region, Saskatchewan Region, St. Lawrence and Ottawa Valley Region, Western Ontario Region, Nova Scotia/Newfoundland Region, and New Brunswick/Prince Edward Island Region.

In total, we hosted 66 competitors plus coaches and chaperones.

The shooting and swimming phases used the facilities on the St. Andrews campus.

The running phase took place on the Willow Farm Valley Trail System which adjoins the St. Andrews property.

The riding phase took place at the Earnscliffe Equestrian Centre which is also close by near the junction of highways 9 and 400.

For those who don't know these locations, we have provided both large and small scale maps.
