The Kelowna Apple Triathlon has been cancelled for this year.

Organizers announced Friday on the event香蕉视频直播檚 webpage that they are taking what they called a 香蕉视频直播渟abbatical year,香蕉视频直播 in order to allow athletes, volunteers and members the ability to fully support the tri-community and the International Triathlon Union Multisport World Championship Festival, which runs Aug. 18 to 27 in Penticton, B.C.

Ernie Lalonde, Kelowna Apple Triathlon board chairman said suspending the event this year was the right thing to do in support of the ITU Worlds in Penticton, anti will give organizers time to refresh the local race for 2018.

Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran said while the race will be missed this year, the city likes the direction organizers are taking to make what he called 香蕉视频直播渢his elite event香蕉视频直播 even bigger and better for next season and for years to come.

In addition to announcing the suspension of the race this year, the KAT board also announced that M1 Sports Management Inc. has been hired to run the Apple Triathlon in 2018

The race is scheduled for the weekend of Aug. 18 and 19 in downtown Kelowna.
