Fresh Air Mini Vlog 23: Bike Parks Open, Races, and Upcoming Events in the Okanagan

Mid-Summer Events, Racing Action, and Riding in the Okanagan!

Hey everyone, we’re officially into mid-summer and there’s no shortage of exciting events around Kelowna! With the weather heating up, be sure to stay hydrated and make the most of the great outdoors.

This weekend we’ve got two amazing events:

• The Midsummer 8k race

• The always popular Okanagan Granfondo.

And next weekend, on July 20th, get ready for the iconic Across the Lake Swim. If you haven’t participated before, it’s a must-do event. Head down to the beach, join in the fun, and don’t miss the Shriners Pancake Breakfast—a great way to fuel up and enjoy the day.

In the world of racing, have you been following the Tour de France? It’s been an exciting ride this year, with stage 9 offering incredible gravel sections and intense team strategies. It’s been a reminder of the great cycling action we all love here.

Speaking of which, the Okanagan trails are waiting for you! Whether you’re taking on the heat or seeking some cool mountain air, both Big White and Silverstar are open for some awesome downhill mountain biking. It’s the perfect way to escape the heat and enjoy some fresh air.

Time to get in on the action at our sports stores in Kelowna. We’re here for expert advice and the latest skis to get you out doing what you love. See what’s in store.
