The Fresh Air Kelowna Cherry Blossom Triathlon was started in 2013 and has grown to be an immensely popular event, selling out well in advance of race day.
The CBT is hosted in Kelowna at one of the country's premier swim facilities – the H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre. This first-class venue has a 50m pool, perfect for creating a great pool swim for the event. The H2O is surrounded by an ideal, spectator-friendly bike loop circuit, fairly flat and fast with the 'Cherry Hill Coffee Hill Climb' a nice added feature. A mix of roads and trails makes the 5km run fun, interesting, and scenic.
*** Please note ***
Entries are capped and we will declare "sold out" once our event hits participant capacity. For the past few years, it has been sold out by March. We provide updates on Facebook, Instagram, and our newsletter as we approach capacity. Newsletters are emailed to all participants leading up to the race - if you do not get information emailed to you, it is likely going to your spam folder.
Transfers and refunds are NOT guaranteed and are granted on a case-by-case basis once the event is sold out. An administrative fee ($30) will be applied to transfers/refunds.
No transfers or refunds will be processed after April 23rd, 2022.
Thank you very much for registering, we know you'll have a great race - we enjoy seeing all the hard work and smiling faces out on the course.
NB: RaceRoster applies an administrative (6.5% + $1.25) booking fee to all prices listed below.

Rolling Start Position
Two weeks prior to the event, we will contact you via email with instructions on how to submit your projected 700m swim time. We highly recommend timing yourself a few times to obtain the most accurate projected time possible. Your fellow swimmers will appreciate a smooth swim! Remember, it's 50m lengths so you might need to add a few seconds per 100m if you're swimming in a 25m pool... and even more for yards.
Age Restrictions & TriBC Day-of-Race Insurance
In keeping with Triathlon Canada and Triathlon BC regulations and guidelines, individual (solo) entries must be a minimum of 16 years old to participate in the triathlon race. Participants may participate on a relay team if they are 13 years old or older. If you are not a TriBC Member then you have paid for your Triathlon BC Day-of-Race Insurance at time of registration. We will email you prior to the race if we do not have confirmation of insurance.
