Our community will always be our driving force. We are an Edmonton-based not-for-profit organization committed to delivering major world-class sporting events. Our new name captures this spirit and our unique Canadian perspective. Together, we will continue raising the bar! Do North!
GET TO KNOW US!
Embracing Triathlon’s Sister Sport
Do North Events is the longest running major international sport event organization in Edmonton. Since 1998, we’ve been building the sport of triathlon and the profile of our amazing city. This year, we’ve decided to expand our focus to cycling and other international sporting events, sharing our wealth of knowledge in hosting major events with a wider audience.
A Collaborative Approach
Do North Events has a fantastic team who understand how to deliver major events. But we can’t do it without our partners and our volunteers, many of whom return year after year. Thanks to all!
What We Do
We do it all! Drawing on a wealth of experience, we organize and deliver major events in addition to securing sponsors, handling marketing and promotions, community activation and engagement, and developing and implementing legacy projects. We also consult with cities and organizations to help them plan for and deliver exciting and highly successful events in their cities and regions.
By the Numbers
For over two decades, our not-for-profit organization has delivered over 25 major events. We are proud to say that Edmonton is one of two cities in the world that has hosted the World Triathlon Championship Finals three times, most recently in 2021.
