Santa Cruz Triathlon

Dive into the heart-pumping excitement of the Santa Cruz Triathlon! This cherished community event combines breathtaking coastal scenery with a spirit of athleticism and philanthropy. Plunge into the ocean swim circling the iconic Santa Cruz Wharf, pedal with purpose along West Cliff Drive and Highway 1 to Davenport, and take on a picturesque run finishing on Cowells Beach. Whether you're a rookie or a seasoned pro, the race's Sprint to Olympic distances, relays, aquabike, and aquathlon options offer something for everyone.

All the effort fuels more than just your endorphins; this non-profit race pours its proceeds into supporting local high school and college sports programs in Santa Cruz County. Experience a day of spectacular competition and community camaraderie, featuring a sheltered swim and a largely closed-course bike and run. Join us, and make every stroke, pedal, and step count for youth sports!
