Our Philosophy

MultiSport Canada (MSC) was founded by John Salt in 2001 with a very simple philosophy; create events with superior race execution and safety standards where the customer’s experience is the top priority.

Our History

Over the past 15 years with that vision in mind, MultiSport Canada has built a dynamic team of event professionals who have developed and produced what has become the largest Triathlon Series in Canada. While building the Triathlon Series, MultiSport Canada has also become one of the most sought-after event management companies for large-scale dynamic on-road mass participation events. MultiSport Canada now successfully produces events for many of Canada’s largest charities allowing their staff to focus on exceeding fundraising targets.
