IM Canada has moved locations: Last year it was held in its “traditional” venue in Penticton. However, the town felt the race was neglected by WTC (evidenced by the race being on the lowest level of KPR points – P-1000 – and prize money – 25.000 US$) and decided to have the race organized under the Challenge banner. (They will hold their race on the same weekend.) WTC then quickly announced a new location for IM Canada in Whistler – giving the race an improved status by designating it a P-2000 race with a prize purse of 75.000 US$.
Previous Year’s TOP 3
As mentioned above, last year’s IM Canada was held in Penticton on a different course.
