Ogopogo Extreme Triathlon
The Ogopogo Extreme, Ogopogo 3500 and Ogopogo Relay Triathlon take place on Sunday 5 September 2027 in the Okanagan region. The event combines open-water swimming, road cycling with significant climbing, and a mountain trail run.
The course starts with a lake swim in Skaha Lake. Competitors then cycle through wine country, passing vineyards and orchards on rolling roads before sustained climbs that lead toward Apex Mountain Resort. The bike segment includes substantial elevation gain.
The final segment is a mountain run on alpine trails and ridgelines, with exposed sections and wide mountain views. The route moves through contrasting environments, from lake shore to agricultural valleys and up into higher, rocky alpine terrain.
Key measurements for the event include:
- 3.8 km swim
- 3100 m bike elevation
- 1675 m run elevation
The event is presented as multiple race formats: an extreme solo course, a 3500 distance, and a relay option. Information about race rules, travel and a race manual is available from the organizer. The description focuses on course terrain and elevation rather than specific start or finish times. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
