Rachael Shay, special event supervisor for the city, said, “The Triathlon is not only an opportunity for athletes to stay active and healthy and challenge themselves, it is also one of the many ways the city connects residents with community resources, businesses and one another.”

The Carlsbad Triathlon is one of the world’s top five longest running triathlons and attracts beginner to elite competitors. More than 2,000 spectators and 1,000 participants are anticipated, which helps to support the local economy and elevates the city’s reputation as a great place to enjoy a healthy, outdoor lifestyle.
