The Course
Swim – 1.5 km Olympic & 750 meters Sprint
We have changed the swim course into a small triangular course within the City Swim Buoys instead of straight out and back, starting from the Ironman Beach as before, and returning to it.
Waves start 5 minutes apart for the Olympic distance and the Sprint starts 15 minutes after the second Olympic wave. The course is marked by buoys along the way and is patrolled by kayakers and canoeists. View Map >
Bike – 40 km Olympic & 20 km Sprint
From the transition area, cyclists head west along Lakeshore drive, past the SS Sicamous and up Lakeshore Drive to a loop just before Highway 97. Then back along Riverside and Lakeshore & up Vancouver Hill. At the top of the hill, cyclists will do an out & back loop using Middle Bench & Tupper intersections, then will travel North Naramata Road to the turn point at Painted Rock, then directly back to Penticton. The course is very scenic but very challenging.
Sprint distance is same as above, but turn at 20 km mark located approximately 1980 Naramata Road. View Map >
