Ironman in Penticton was a huge event for most of the last 30 years. A great economic generator for the local economy, and a traffic nightmare for locals. After a break, Ironman came back to Penticton on a 5 year contract that was affected by covid, and wildfire smoke. This morning, Okanagan Lake is cooler than the minimum 12C required by World Triathlon, and Triathlon B.C. A disappointment for the athletes who have trained so long for this, but better than a lake full of people with hypothermia.
Next year, Ironman Canada will be in Ottawa.
