The Santa Cruz Triathlon was named by Active.com as one of the “Top Ten Most Scenic Triathlons” in California! With ocean views and a great vibe, the race is a ton of fun. It’s also fundraiser for local youth sports in Santa Cruz County.

Formerly the Sentinel Triathlon, the event has been held in Santa Cruz annually for the past three decades.
