2026 Cherry Blossom Triathlon
The Cherry Blossom Triathlon (CBT) is an early-season multisport event held in Kelowna, British Columbia. Established in 2013, the race is based at the H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre, which features a premier 50 m swimming pool used for the first leg of the competition.
The event offers various distances for individuals and teams:
- Adult Sprint Triathlon (16+): 700 m swim, 22 km bike, 5 km run.
- Sprint Triathlon Relay (13+): 700 m swim, 22 km bike, 5 km run.
- Adult Super Sprint (16+): 400 m swim, 14.6 km bike, 3 km run.
- Youth Super Sprint (14-15 yrs): 300 m swim, 7.3 km bike, 3 km run.
- Youth Super Sprint (12-13 yrs): 200 m swim, 7.3 km bike, 2 km run.
The cycling portion takes place on a fast, flat loop circuit, with the exception of the Swamp Hill Climb. The run course utilizes a mix of local roads and trails. For the swimming segment, a rolling start is implemented, seeding athletes from the fastest to slowest based on projected swim times.
Participants are required to either be a Triathlon BC Member or purchase a one-day event membership. Registration is subject to a participant capacity cap. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
