Kelowna is already home to over 25 wineries and numerous renowned wine & food events (including the Canadian Culinary Championships coming up in February), and now a new half marathon will have people experiencing Okanagan wine country in a whole new way.
On Saturday, September 7 Destination Races presents the inaugural Kelowna Wine Country Half Marathon. Destination Races motto is 'Cool Races in Beautiful Places' and Kelowna's races promises to be exactly that as participants (novice and experienced runners alike) along a scenic tour of East Kelowna wineries, with stunning views of Okanagan Lake, ending in downtown's beautiful Waterfront Park. Activities, including a post-race concert will be planned all weekend so bring your family and friends to experience this one-of-a-kind adventure.
Destination Race parnters with a variety of national, regional and local charity and non-profit organizations each year. The Kelowna Wine Country Half Marathon is being supported by the YMCA of the Okanagan as the primary volunteer provider and the event will support theYMCA Strong Kids Campaign that gives kids the opportunity to live happier, healthier lives.
