Argus Apple Triathlon 2026

The Argus Apple Triathlon takes place over a weekend in Kelowna, British Columbia, starting at Kelowna City Park on Okanagan Lake. Competitors begin with an open-water swim in the lake, followed by a bike course through city streets and nearby wine country, concluding with a run along the waterfront. The standard-distance event includes a 1500m swim, 40km bike, and 10km run, featuring two laps for both the bike and run segments. Shorter distances are available: a sprint race (750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run) and a super sprint (300m swim, 10km bike, 2.5km run). A standard aquabike option is also offered for those preferring a swim-bike format. The series accommodates various participant levels. Children's age-group races have distances from a 100m swim and 650m run for the youngest to a 300m swim, 10km bike, and 2.5km run for ages 12-15. Junior elite athletes aged 14-23 compete in a draft-legal super sprint as part of the BC SuperSeries. The standard, standard aquabike, and sprint races also function as Triathlon Canada Age Group National Championships, requiring no prior qualification. Package pickup and bike check-in occur on Saturday for the main adult events, with the majority of racing scheduled for Sunday.
