Santa Cruz: WEDNESDAY NIGHT SAILBOAT RACES

Santa Cruz Harbor 135 5th Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA, United States

Santa Cruz is known near and far for its surfing legacy, but there is another water sport that finds a niche on our coast, with a similarly devoted following. Sailboats dot the waves almost as frequently as surf boards here, benefiting from the tides and currents that make this beach town so special. So it is no surprise that the Santa Cruz Harbor and the Santa Cruz Yacht Club have become a nexus for the sailing community, with a calendar packed with activities and a weekly regatta, which brings out even the biggest land lover to admire the race every Wednesday.

Tri Santa Cruz

Cowell Beach 21 Municipal Wharf, Santa Cruz, CA, United States

Tri Santa Cruz is one of the most fun and scenic events on the west coast.  The race has a sprint and international (Olympic) distance triathlon, with relays and aquabike categories for both races.  There is a special, non-competitive Family & Friends wave for people who are new to triathlon or just want to have a fun day.  The sheltered swim and flat bike and run course make this a perfect place for a first race. The bike ride is a totally closed course and both the bike and run courses follow the coastline to create one of the most scenic races around!  It also makes cheering on your athlete a vacation itself!
