about the EXPO

This is the second year for the Penticton Sports and Fitness Expo. 

​

The inspiration came from seeing and hearing of a need to connect groups with participants. In this case there are a lot of smaller organizations in Penticton and area offering really interesting sports and activity options. Some are for children, teens, adults, or all three. Some are competitive and some recreational.

​

Having a showcase where all those groups can come together helps all the organizations grow and gets more children and adults active.  It also gives smaller sports a platform to grow.

​

Every year the Throwdown Series runs a 2-day competition called the Okanagan Valley Throwdown.  This event brings hundreds of athletes 14 years and older together to showcase fitness at its finest.  It's a great community that puts effort and attitude ahead of winning at all costs.  The sport of CrossFit attracts a lot of people from different walks of life.  

​

Something most athletes say is they wish they had been more active earlier in life.

​

Hosting this event at the same time as the Throwdown allows us to leverage the event and keep the costs down for the Expo and all its exhibitors.
