The Making of a Classic

About the Peach Classic Triathlon

The Peach Classic

When members of the Penticton Triathlon Club learned their town’s oldest triathlon was at risk of extinction, they rolled up their sleeves to save their beloved local race.

First Official Race Was in 1983

The Peach City Triathlon held its first race with 24 triathletes along the shores of Lake Okanagan 41 years ago. Three years later, in 1986, the event became known as IRONMAN Canada, the first North American IRONMAN race to take place outside of Hawaii.
