Located in the beautiful south Okanagan community of Oliver, BC, this race is a half Ironman distance competition consisting of a 2 km swim, 93 km bike and 21.1 km run.  The race  features a 2-loop swim in the protected waters of Tuc-el-Nuit Lake in the heart of Oliver, a 2 loop bike course in the lower Okanagan Valley featuring parts of the famous  Ironman Canada course past Oliver wineries and  ends with a 2-loop run through quiet residential neighborhood and along the banks of the Okanagan River.

This fast course has seen professional triathletes Michellie Jones, Tom Evans, Matt Seeley and 2-time Ironman  World Champion, Lori Bowden.  The support of Oliver  and the surrounding communities before, during and after the event is what truly separates this race from most others. 

Race with us and enjoy a new standard of support  both on and off the course, and explore the "Wine Capital of Canada" with over 24 wineries in the area after the race with friends and family!
