_ The 2024 Castaic Lake Triathlon:

Castaic Lake Triathlon takes place at scenic Castaic Lake just 20 miles north of Los Angeles. The Castaic Lake Recreation Area, located just north of Santa Clarita, is an 11,200-acre multi-use facility with two lakes, boating, world class fishing, hiking, walking, horseback riding, wake boarding, jet-skiing, camping, picnicking, kayaking, and sailing.  August is a great time to enjoy the water in the high 60s, and a staging area aptly named Paradise Cove. 

The swim course is a modified V shape in Paradise Cove at Castaic Lake, with 8 lifeguards in the water on paddleboards.  The bike course then goes out on back roads to limit your interaction with cars.  The bike course does include some U-turns on back roads to allow this, so athletes should slow down at the turn around points.  The run is primarily on the rolling trails overlooking Castaic Lake.
