The Carlsbad Triathlon has a reputation of being one of the longest-running triathlons in the world.
Of course the Hawaii Ironman is probably the #1, but, considering the company, being recognized as a pre-eminent athletic event is something to brag about.
The Carlsbad Triathlon consists of a 1K swim (away from the kelp beds), a 25K bike ride (a two-lap course with rolling hills along the ocean - I have ridden this area myself and it is a terrific and scenic ride), and a 5K run, so it is substantially shorter than some of the better known triathlons.
