KELOWNA APPLE TRIATHLONThe Kelowna Apple triathlon takes place in mid-August in Kelowna B.C. It's a great race and if you are in the area be sure to stop by and support the athletes of every level from kids to pros.
If you plan on being anywhere near the Okanagan Valley near the middle of August, be sure you check out the date for the Kelowna triathlon weekend. There are not too many weeks left before Canada’s best triathletes arrive in Kelowna for the 28th Pushor Mitchell Kelowna Apple Triathlon (August 20-22). They will be in beautiful and friendly Kelowna to participate in the Canadian National Triathlon Championships, the ITU Pan American Cup and the Western Canadian Kids of Steel Youth Championships. If it fits into your itinerary you should drop by and support the athletes. It's a two day event that features athletes of all abilities from kids to world class triathletes. You may even get to see the next budding star on the Canadian triathlon scene. It's a great opportunity to view and support one of the fastest growing mainstsream sports in the world. People love triathlon because it's for "everyone".
Although there will be many gifted athletes in Kelowna, anyone can take part in triathlon and have fun while learning new skills. Triathlon is helping many people realize that being fit can be fun and a way of life. It seems that no matter where I go I meet people who have taken part in the Kelowna Apple Triathlon. For many of those people the Apple was their very first triathlon and they have very fond memories of the day they crossed the finish line. It is an especially good venue for kids to learn more about the sport and have a great time doing it. As creator of Ironstruck, I am a firm believer in triathlon for kids and strongly support any event like the Kelowna Triathlon weekend that encourages kids to pursue a healthy lifestyle while having fun. I have just confirmed that I will be in Kelowna once again in the Summer of 2010 doing book signings at their outdoor expo. It's always a bit of a struggle to juggle my job with the Summer race expos I would love to do. Fortunately for the past four years I've found a way to make it to the Kelowna Apple Triathlon and Ironman Canada the following week. I'd hate to miss these two great events that have become so well known in Canada and around the world. Drop by and say hello if you plan on being at the Apple Triathlon.
