An invite to Challenge Penticton Canada

Penticton’s Jeff Symonds and Australia’s Carrie Lester notched wins at the inaugural Challenge Penticton Canada on August 25, and with the addition of the Challenge Penticton Canada Half on the same day, look for the event on Sunday August 24, 2014 to be even bigger.

The inaugural champion and hometown hero Jeff Symonds sends out this invitation to race in his backyard.

 

Multi-time World Champion Chris McCormack, took part in the inaugural race but dropped out during the marathon. He plans on coming back to redeem himself.

 

Here are some highlights from this year’s race.
