Carlsbad Triathlon 2010 and Health Expo

It's that time of year again, for the popular Carlsbad Triathlon and Health Expo, being held this weekend, July 10 and 11. The Health Expo is Saturday and the race in Sunday. 

The Carlsbad Triathlon is one of the 5 longest running triathlon events in the world. 

The Carlsbad Triathlon is a sprint race, with a 1K open water ocean swim, a 25K bicycle ride, and a 5K run. The race is sold out, with 1000 participants at all levels from beginner to elite. 

The course begins at Tamarack Surf Beach at Route 101/the Coast Highway and runs along the coast. Roads will be closed so the race is considered very safe.

The terrain is fairly level with some rolling hills, and comes with great views! 

The Health and Fitness Expo is Saturday at the Westfield Plaza Camino Real on Saturday, July 10, 2010, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It continues on the day of the Carlsbad Triathlon at Tamarack Surf Beach along the seawall from 6 a.m. until noon. 

Why not stop by the Carlsbad Triathlon 2010 and Health Expo this weekend. The weather is expected to be sunnier but with coolish temperatures which will be great for the triathletes.
