Carlsbad Triathlon 2016
Sunday July 10
The Carlsbad Triathlon has a reputation for being one of the longest-running triathlons around. This annual world class event, the 35th this year, attracts first timers, amateur, and elite athletes from around the US and the world.
The 2016 Carlsbad Triathlon takes place Sunday July 10th and there is still time to register (price goes up after June 30). The Triathlon starts at 7:30 am at Tamarack Surf Beach, at 3900 Carlsbad Boulevard about a mile south of Carlsbad Village, where Tamarack Avenue meets the Coast Road.
The 2016 course for the Carlsbad Triathlon begins at Tamarack Surf Beach (3900 Carlsbad Boulevard) and includes a 1K swim (ocean), a 25K bike ride (a two-lap course with rolling hills along the ocean, a beautiful and scenic ride), and a 5K run, so it’s substantially shorter than some of the better known triathlons and “mostly” flat.
The 2016 Carlsbad Triathlon, as always, will be accompanied by a Lifestyle and Fitness Festival on Saturday July 9th, at Pine Avenue Park at 3333 Harding Street near Carlsbad Village from 10 am until 2 pm and on Sunday from 6 am until 12 noon.
As with all our popular Carlsbad running events there are plenty of road closures, making the triathlon safer, including portions of the coast road (Route 101/Carlsbad Boulevard) where the running takes place (from just south of Carlsbad Village Drive to La Costa Avenue in Leucadia), some of the same route as the famed Carlsbad Marathon.
