_ The 41st annual Santa Cruz Triathlon:
The Santa Cruz Triathlon is a non-profit event. The race has donated more than $1.5 million to Santa Cruz County high school athletic programs, UC Santa Cruz Swim Program, Cabrillo College's athletic programs, Santa Cruz Track Club and Santa Cruz Triathlon Association in its 40 years — including another big year of $84,000 in 2022. Students from these schools serve as race-day volunteers. Your participation in this event is appreciated!

OLYMPIC RACE
Swim (1.5K): Brisk ocean swim around the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf. Water temperature is usually in the mid-50s, so wetsuits are strongly recommended.

Run (10K): A flat-and-fast, out-and-back dash along the ocean.

Sorry, athletes under 12 years of age will not be allowed to compete in the Sprint. Racers must be 14 for all other events.
OPEN WATER SWIM
The one-mile Open Water Swim race course is clockwise around the Wharf from the Boardwalk to Cowell Beach. There will be one wave, including men and women. The race will take place around 8:30 a.m., after the Olympic Triathletes have started.
