The Carlsbad Triathlon ranks in the world's top five longest running triathlons. The course begins at Tamarack Surf Beach, and follows the coastline of Carlsbad, past scenic beaches, lagoons and a wildlife preserve. The triathlon boasts a calm ocean swim, a rolling bike course and a smooth run for the finish.

This race is for everybody: from first-timers to the elites, and their friends and family! The race begins with an open-water ocean swim, which is well-marked with buoys. The swim is followed by a bike course, and the race finishes with a run along the beautiful Pacific Ocean coastline. The roads are wide and completely closed to traffic-very safe! The course is mostly flat with a couple of rolling areas.

The number of entries is capped at 1,000, so be sure to sign up early to secure a spot in this fabulously fun, extremely safe and legendary sporting event! Please note that:

• There will be no registration on race day.
• There are no refunds and no transfers of entries.

For questions, please email carlsbadtriathlon@carlsbadca.gov or call 760-602-7519.

Good luck to all of the triathletes!
