There is a strong chance that Ironman Canada will be returning to Penticton in 2020, following a six-year hiatus.
The triathlon started running in the city annually 35 years ago, and Penticton became a renowned host that saw thousands of participants and spectators flock to the area each August. The triathlon did not return after 2012 when the city opted to end it’s 30-year relationship with the organization and host a Challenge Family event instead.
