Be Like Bruce Triathlon
June 17th, 2023
8am – 2pm at Victoria Park and Riversdale Pool, Saskatoon
RAISING AWARENESS AND FUNDS
The Gordon family has created the BeLikeBruce platform with the goal to advocate, take action and create awareness of the illness that took Bruce's life and changed theirs forever. The BeLikeBruce Triathlon intends to help achieve these goals by accepting monetary donations and directing a portion of the entry fees to pancreatic cancer research being done at the world class University of Saskatchewan Cancer Research Centre. With the link provided, you are able to make personal donations to The U of S College of Medicine with a note to direct the funds to the Bruce Gordon Memorial Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund.
EVERYBODY WELCOME
The BeLikeBruce Triathlon is meant to be friendly to beginners, but also provide a competitive environment for experienced athletes. Your registration fee includes your triathlon race fee, BeLikeBruce Swag and an after-race snack – plus proceeds to pancreatic cancer research!
We will be racing in the outdoor Riversdale Pool and in beautiful Victoria Park.

GET INTO THE SPIRIT
It was sometimes hard to tell if Bruce loved the event, or trash talking his friends more. So remember: Get out and do the BeLikeBruce Triathlon. There will be a community to support you. Have fun. Surprise yourself. Race hard! And if that’s your buddy ahead of you, catch up and give him or her the gears!
