Growing Up in Santa Cruz

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!
