The City of Penticton is putting its last weekend in August on the market, looking for organizers of a “signature” triathlon event.
The municipality is seeking expressions of interest for a multi-sport or triathlon event starting in 2020, through to 2024.
MB Events has held the license to operate a triathlon in Penticton since 2014, a contract that runs up after this year’s 2019 Super League races.
“With a 30 year history of hosting Ironman races and a successful 2017 ITU Multisport World Championships in its hosting repertoire, the City of Penticton is a uniquely attractive and qualified place to host triathlon events,” the city’s request for expression of interest states.
The city says it is seeking a three-year contract with the option based on performance for two single-year renewals.
The newly elected Penticton city council has made attracting a world-class triathlon back to the city a priority.
