Solana Beach Triathlon & Duathlon

This will be a USAT Sanctioned Triathlon, Duathlon, Aqua-thlon, & Aquabike!  

The Solana Beach Triathlon, Duathlon & Aquabike invites you to an epic day living the active lifestyle!

This fantastic event is made even more special by its idyllic location…Fletcher Cove at Solana Beach. Iconic Southern California at its best. The surf-entry ocean swim is supported by lifeguards and swim buddies. The bike and run courses cruise down the world famous Pacific Coast Highway. Finally, a tunnel of high-fives awaits you at the finish line - a gauntlet of excitement. This is a sprint triathlon/duathlon/aquabike that will be remembered.

We have A Free Meetup Group to help you Train, Learn and meet other Triathletes - Check it out here - We will be offering an open water swimming clinic for ocean swimming, join the group to get updates.
