The Ski 2 Sea race is on

Expect some road closures Sunday as outdoor enthusiasts race from the slopes of Big White to the shores of Kelowna's City Park.

The 34th annual Ski2Sea relay race runs from 9.a.m. to 5 p.m. and will see teams of up to seven people and soloists race against each other and time.

The course will take them over 95 kms and involves six legs. The legs, in order of completion, are: alpine skiing, Nordic skiing, mountain biking, road cycling, running, and canoeing/kayaking. Two people are required for the canoeing leg. The race is a relay and all team members are required to help bring the canoe equipment across the finish line.

More than 100 teams and solo participants will begin the race at Big White and cross the finish line in City Park.

Peck Road in Rutland will be closed from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. to accommodate the bike-to-run transition.

Traffic control personnel and RCMP will be visible and motorists will need to watch for athletes along the route.

Minor delays can be expected as participants will be given the right of way when crossing Lakeshore Road at Truswell Road. Disruptions in traffic flow may occur along Highway 33 to Garner Road.

Motorists are advised to plan their routes accordingly to avoid delays.
