A Place To Race Forever
In 1983, the first North American IRONMAN was born, and that race changed the IRONMAN triathlon community forever. In Sylix; local indigenous language, "Penticton" means " A Place to Stay Forever" and IRONMAN Canada is undoubtedly A Place to Race Forever. From the iconic course, stunning landscapes, and the welcoming host community, all roads lead to the Okanagan. a‹

a‹Athletes from all over the world come to Penticton to race this iconic event, but stay for the welcoming, premier triathlon community. Athletes will start their IRONMAN Canada journey with a 3.8KM single-loop, award-winning swim, transition to a 180KM bike through the Okanagan Valley lined with vineyards and picturesque mountain views. The last leg of your race will be a spirited and energetic 42.2KM run through the heart of Penticton, all culminating in an unrivaled, spectator-lined finish line. a‹

a‹IRONMAN Canada respectfully acknowledges that we live, work and play on the traditional and unceded territory of the Syilx People in the Okanagan Nation.
