Do you consider yourself to be a runner? You will be happy to know there are a wide range of running events that take place in Okanagan every single year. It is a great place to go if you are looking for some bigger triathlons to really challenge yourself. If you are looking for some great events to run in then Okanagan is perfect. Here are a few of the larger events that take place every year that you can enjoy.
The Peach City Runfest
The Peach City Runfest is a race that goes on in May. There are several events to choose from so you can run at your speed. There is a 5 K, a 10 K, a Half Marathon, and a Kid's Mile race. All of these races start on the beach at Skaha Lake and go across it. You can enjoy free parking lots during the race.
The Challenge Penticton Triathlon
The Challenge Penticton Triathlon is a newer race in Okanagan. There are relay teams on the challenge race course with the swim starting at the Okanagan Lake. Another great race to mention is the Apple Triathlon - Kelowna BS.
This is a race that is also new to the area but not to the race game. You will be able to ‘Try a Tri’ with a swim, a bike course, and a run. There will be training camps during the week for those who want to try it. All the runs have something to enjoy for each athlete and spectator.
If you are not willing to try running a huge marathon then you can sign up for the 5k and work your way up. The town is well equipped to accommodate all the people who come in for the races and welcoming to all visitors.
There is a running event for everyone in or near Okanagan each year.
