2017 Penticton World Championships- Athletes Guide Aquathlon | Page 7

The spectator friendly courses in the heart of the city, and in the beachfront of Okanagan Lake and the Okanagan Lake Park, will feature a variety of terrain and include some of the area’s many vistas, wineries and landmarks, as well the downtown area, with a stadium finish at each race. A perfect scenario for friends and families to cheer for their loved ones and enjoy the passion of triathlon live.

As the glorious Penticton overlooks the horizon, the vibrant city provides a picturesque backdrop for these events during an excellent 10 days of family-friendly sports action for its citizens. After all, triathlon is a sport anyone can do regardless of age or gender.

I would like to thank Triathlon Canada, the Local Organising Committee and the city of Penticton, as well as sponsors and volunteers, for helping to put this fantastic event together.

Enjoy the beautiful city of Penticton and the spectacle of ITU Triathlon. We will offer you thrilling races and a warm atmosphere, perfect to enjoy triathlon.

Sincerely,

Marisol Casado
