_ The 2024 Santa Cruz Triathlon:

Formerly named the Santa Cruz Sentinel Triathlon, the Santa Cruz Triathlon is a non-profit event. Each year the race donates $80,000 to $90,000 to the Santa Cruz community! 2022 and 2023 the race showed big profits, donating $176,000 back into our community! In 2023, it showed it's biggest year yet, donating $92,000 back into the Santa Cruz community!  Proceeds from the event are donated to the Santa Cruz County High School athletic programs, the UC Santa Cruz Swim Program, Cabrillo College Athletics, Santa Cruz Track Club, and the Santa Cruz Triathlon Association. These organizations receive donations from the race and provide volunteers on the course. Everyone’s participation is greatly appreciated!

Course Information:

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.

Bike (40K): Challenging out-and-back rolling ride via scenic West Cliff Drive and coastal Highway 1 to the historic town of Davenport.

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

SPRINT RACE

Our Sprint Triathlon Course is the best sprint race in NorCal. The course — 700 yard swim, 12 mile bike and 3.1 mile run — is ideal for beginners or returning racers not quite up for a full Olympic distance triathlon.

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.
