1. Bring water and snacks to eat while you’re out. There will be food available for purchase near the race site (see places to eat) as well, be sure to bring cash and credit.

2. Be prepared for the Okanagan heat. Bring a hat, sunglasses, umbrella, tent, etc., as well as be sure to bring and apply sunscreen regularly.

3. Review our “Race Viewing” and find a location along the race course to cheer!

4. Consider bringing a chair, blanket or something to sit on. There is some curb space but a seat makes for more comfortable viewing.

5. Bring noisemakers: horns, cowbells, whistles encouraged, or make a sign. Bring your countries flag and proudly wave it in the air!

The racecourse is closed to spectator traffic. But there are many roads that can take you to junctions to cheer on your athlete. Many of the best spectator locations are right in the downtown area along Lakeshore Drive. The Athlete village, Transition and Gyro Park are central and ideal viewing areas for all of the race events. There is also excellent race viewing from Cannery Brewing on Ellis Street, join them at their Cheer Station for the Long Course bike! The Bench Market on Vancouver Avenue also has excellent Spectator viewing for the Sprint Duathlon Bike course and the Cross Triathlon Bike Course.

No one will be allowed to cross the finish line with their athlete. This is a world championship event and spectators are not allowed to interfere in the race.

Spectators will not be allowed into the Medical Tent as it is a highly congested area. The athlete’s Emergency Contact will be notified.
