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 except for Swamp Hill Climb which is a nice added challenge! A mix of roads and trails makes the 2 - 5km run fun, interesting, and scenic.
This year we are hoping to get more youth involved in the sport of triathlon and have created new events for youth 12+. The Youth Super Sprint Events for ages 14 - 16 are BC Summer Games Qualifying events. The BC Summer Games will be held in Maple Ridge, July 18 - 21st, 2024. Click Here for qualifying details.
*** 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.
Registration fees are non-refundable unless you purchase the additional protection at the time of registration. You can request to transfer your entry to another athlete you have secured to take your place for a $30.00 administration fee.
No transfers can be processed after April 30th, 2024.
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 on May 5th!

Rolling Start Position
You'll be asked to input your predicted swim time during registration but if you have no idea what you'll swim on race day, two weeks prior to the event, we will contact you via email with instructions on how to submit an updated 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.
