The Okanagan International Marathon is an annual marathon event held in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. The race has been run each year since 1995 and is a Boston Marathon qualifying race.

History[]

The Okanagan International Marathon is as a major fundraiser for the interior of BC. Held in the fall in Kelowna and has a history of Boston qualifying times on a course, which attracts both the elite and recreational runner. To date the Okanagan International Marathon has donated in excess of $173,000 dollars to the Sunshine Foundation Dream for Kids. Growing from a small marathon with a group of dedicated runners the event today has over 3,400 participants.[1]

The event includes the Full Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K & 5K Family Fun Run/Walk as well as the BMO Kids run. On October 10, 2010, runners converged on Kelowna’s City Park for the 42.2 km marathon, 21.1 km half-marathon and 10 km walk and run.[2]
