***Please refer to our website for updated course maps - 2018 will have a course change***
The premier event - The Oliver Half Iron, features a 2km, 2-loop swim in the clean and protected waters of Tucelnuit Lake, in the heart of Oliver, B.C. The 94km scenic bike course takes you through the beautiful lower Okanagan Valley, past many of the wineries in the "Wine Capital of Canada". The Half Iron finishes with a 2-loop 21km run through quiet residential and along the banks of the Okanagan River.
This fast course has seen professional triathletes, Michellie Jones, Tom Evans, Linsey Corbin, Matt Seeley, Karen Thibodeau, Nathan Champness, Elmar Heger and 2X Ironman World Champion, Lori Bowden.
The overwhelming support of Oliver and the surrounding communities, before, during and after the event is unparalleled and is what truly separates this race from others.
We look forward to hosting in 2018! Race with us and enjoy and explore the "Wine Capital of Canada" with over 24 wineries in the area after the race with friends and family!
