Get ready for Kelowna’s Apple Triathlon in August
[Official Media Release]
Kelowna – Participate in, volunteer at or sponsor the 27th Annual Pushor Mitchell Apple Triathlon on August 22 and 23 in the magnificent surroundings of Kelowna.
The Kelowna Apple Triathlon hosted the Canadian National Triathlon Championship for the first time in 1992. It was Simon Whitfield’s first national event. The Apple was awarded National Championships for Elite and Age Group participants for 2004/2005 and again for 2008-2010. It has been recognized as an International Triathlon Union (ITU) event since 2005.
Strongly supported by Triathlon Canada and Tri B.C., the entrants’ list will show up to 1200 participants, and the event will be driven by the help of up to 700 community volunteers.
Our goal is to make this triathlon weekend the best ever as well as gain national and international recognition for our community. This cannot be done without the core of this event – our volunteers. A variety of volunteer positions are available, and details are available from the Apple Triathlon office (see website for contact information).
For this year, we have also introduced the Apple Corporate Cup Triathlon in which corporate teams swim 500m, bike 10km and run 4km. Challenge your co-workers or other businesses in the community to this race!
