About The Club
The Penticton Triathlon Club (PTC) is a non-profit entity located in Penticton, British Columbia. The PTC is a group of individuals that share the same sickness; a love for triathlon, or most of the components of a triathlon and likely a few other sports!
The PTC recently took over the organization of the Peach Classic, one of the oldest triathlons in Canada. Penticton, the ancestral home of triathlon in Canada! We hope to continue growing a club that continues to encourage everyone to embrace the sport to the best of their abilities while having an amazing time.
