PENTICTON — It’s the first time North America has hosted a Challenge Family race, but that’s not what is making headlines.
Penticton’s very own Jeff Symonds takes the top spot with a time of 8:29:57.
Shortly after the victory, the triathlete was taken to hospital due to an injury he suffered during the cycle course.
But the wound never slowed him down.
He had a 15 minute lead over 2nd place winner Scott DeFilippis from the USA.
The grueling course included a 3.8 km swim, 180 km cycle and 42.2 km run.
