Which outdoor event takes advantage of the conditions on Lake Ontario?

The Lake Ontario Triathlon is a prime example of an outdoor event that leverages the conditions on Lake Ontario to create an engaging competition. The triathlon typically features swimming, cycling, and running segments, with the swim portion taking place in the lake. The lake's water conditions, including temperature and current, are significant factors that athletes must train for and adapt to during the event. Additionally, the surrounding landscapes and city views enhance the overall experience for participants and spectators alike.

While other events like fishing derbies also utilize Lake Ontario, they do not encompass the range of outdoor athletic activities that a triathlon does. Events such as the Toronto Winter Festival and the Great Lakes Art Fair may not specifically capitalize on the unique attributes of Lake Ontario's waters and climate in the same way that a triathlon does.
