The Carlsbad Triathlon has a reputation of being one of the longest-running triathlons in the world.
Of course the Hawaii Ironman is probably the #1, but, considering the company, being recognized as a pre-eminent athletic event is something to brag about.
The Carlsbad Triathlon consists of a 1K swim (away from the kelp beds), a 25K bike ride (a two-lap course with rolling hills along the ocean - I have ridden this area myself and it is a terrific and scenic ride), and a 5K run, so it is substantially shorter than some of the better known triathlons.
The Carlsbad Triathlon takes place on Sunday, July 12th, with a Health and Fitness Expo being held on Saturday July 11th to kick off this world-class event at the Westfield Plaza Mall near the junction of El Camino Real and the 78 Freeway in northeast Carlsbad.
Be aware, if you plan to be out and about on Sunday, that there will be road closures, including portions of the coast road (Route 101/Carlsbad Boulevard) where the running takes place (from just south of Carlsbad Village Drive to La Costa Avenue in Leucadia), some of the same route as the famous Carlsbad Marathon.
The event is sold out and there are reports of some world-class thriathletes participating. It should be a terrific and inspiring sporting event.
