Kelowna in final three for Ironman
In its race for Ironman, Kelowna has made it to the top three.
The World Triathlon Corporation announced the three finalists from the bid process to host the 2013 Ironman Canada: Kelowna, Whistler and Huntsville, Ontario.
According to the Ironman website, the selection of the three Canadian communities was based on criteria as stated in the bid process that closed on Sept. 24. There were seven communities in Canada that submitted bids.
As part of the next phase in the selection process, Ironman staff will conduct in-depth visits to each finalist community.
Vernon and Kamloops had also placed bids to host the event.
Mayor Walter Gray decided to miss the UBCM this week, instead opting to lead a contingent to meet with the Ironman group in Tampa. It looks like the move might have paid off.
Ironman says they will announce the host for the 2013 event by mid-October.
