More than 1750 athletes and 900 volunteers will make this years Apple Triathlon the largest in it's history and possibly the largest in Canadian history.  Thats the good news.  


The bad news is a number of streets in Glenmore , and downtown Kelowna will experience closures, detours and delays during race day.


If you are a boat owner the downtown boat launches near the Delta Grand Hotel, and the boat launch in Sutherland Park near Knox Mountain will be closed as well.
