Kelowna is featured in the latest episode of Canada’s Ultimate Challenge reality television series.

The TV series showcases iconic locations across the country as six teams are coached through gruelling physical challenges by Canadian sports heroes, according to CBC.

In episode 4, released today and which airs tonight, March 9, teams travel to Kelowna to do challenges called the Plane Pull, the tandem Rose Roll and the solo Trestle Trip.

Kelowna is described as a “vacation hot spot” and “the heart of the Okanagan,” and the show includes views of the city, mountains, beaches and vineyards.

Team members from across the country are bent over pulling a plane at the airport, racing to wine barrels in a vineyard and climbing up netting to a trestle bridge. The competition intensifies in the first elimination round and one team is sent home.
