The Peach Classic, an enduring tradition since 1983, is one of Canada's most beloved triathlons. Organized by the Penticton Triathlon Club, this non-profit group brings together athletes from across North America for a weekend filled with diverse race options and community spirit. Scheduled to take place in 2026, the event offers a range of challenges suitable for all levels of experience, including Standard, Sprint, SuperSprint, and Aqua-Bike races. The Sprint Relay allows teams to share the excitement among friends or family members, while the Try A Tri provides beginners with an introduction to triathlon racing. On Saturday, participants can look forward to the Sprint race in the morning followed by a fun-filled day of Kids Races designed for young athletes. The afternoon features Sprint Relays and the popular Try A Tri event, which offers newcomers a taste of what it's like to swim, bike, and run without the pressure of long distances. Sunday is packed with more exciting events. Athletes can tackle the Standard race or opt for the Aqua-Bike challenge, combining swimming and cycling in a unique format. The Aquathlon, featuring a combination of running and swimming, offers an alternative route through scenic Penticton's waterside areas. For those seeking shorter distances, the SuperSprint provides a fast-paced option that still includes all three disciplines. The Peach Classic not only celebrates athletic achievement but also fosters community engagement with its volunteer-led organization and welcoming atmosphere for competitors of every age and skill level. Participants can expect to experience the beauty of Penticton's natural surroundings while engaging in friendly competition among fellow triathletes. The event promises an unforgettable weekend that combines challenging races, family-friendly activities, and a vibrant sense of community spirit.

About Penticton
Learn more about the host city, Penticton.
Penticton is a beautiful spot in the south Okanagan nestled between two lakes: The 155 km-long (95 mi) Okanagan Lake to the north, and the smaller Skaha Lake to the south. Tourism in Penticton is largely seasonal. In the summer, tourists double Penticton's population to 60,000. In the winter things used to be very quiet, but now that World Cup Freestyle Skiing stops at local Apex Mountain every winter, the winter scene is picking up.
