The Fresh Air Hard Knox Challenge has been a stalwart of the Kelowna Running Club and Interior Running Association race series for 30 plus years but RE-INVENTED.

Fresh Air Hard Knox Challenge will include:

• 12 KM route starting in Sutherland Park near the base of Knox Mountain off Ellis and Poplar Point Road
• Fresh Air Hard Knox Challenge is not just Road but an exciting combination of Road and Trail
• Why "Challenge"?
  • The 12 KM route includes both road and trail sections plus two challenges within the 12 KM:
    • Knox Grind - A timed section on the lower section of Apex. PS: Mizuno runners for both male and female winners
    • A great finishing Monster Mile along Poplar Point Road.
• Start with a fast out and back leg From Sutherland Park along the Okanagan Lakeshore and back.
• then the first challenge up the Grind to the first lookout on Knox Mountain (trail)
• Out the trail towards Paul's Tomb (but not all the way) then returning along Poplar Point Road (the Monster Mile )
