Santa Barbara Long Course August 23rd 1 Mile Swim/ 34 bike/ 10 mile run The Santa Barbara Long Course Triathlon is one of the most beautiful and challenging courses in the country. It's unique distance gives athletes a great opportunity to step it up and test their speed on a longer course. The generally calm ocean swim leads way to a deceptively challenging bike course and solid run course. Come test your skills. Women ONLY Sprint August 24th 500 Yard Swim/6 mile bike/ 2 mile run For years, our female participants begged us to add a Women-Only Sprint Course event, so we did. 2008 marks the fifth the year we'll offer this exclusive event open to female athletes only. No matter what your speed, goals, or experience level, this event has something for you. The calm ocean swim, relatively flat bike and nearly flat run make for a perfect introduction to the sport of triathlon. Seasoned "sprint specialists" enjoy meeting and exceeding personal goals while at the same time experiencing the supportive spirit of this unique event. Co-ed Sprint August 24th 500 Yard Swim/6 mile bike/ 2 mile run Men and women of all ages, whether seasoned pros or first-timers, are encouraged to participate in this equally exciting mini version of our renowned long course. The calm ocean swim, relatively flat bike and nearly flat run make for a perfect introduction to the sport of triathlon.

Carpinteria is a beautiful beach town on the Centra

Coast located between Santa Barbara and Ventura

The Carpinteria Beach, known as the “World’s Safest Beach,” is very special and has been rated the #1 swimming beach in California, due mostly to its Southern exposure and its protection by the Channel Islands. Swimmers will usually enjoy small surf and the absence of riptides at our unique beach.

The bike course, an open course and large loop, travels along the foothills offering some spectacular ocean views. Both the olympic and sprint courses offer the competitor a challenging ride, although the sprint course is also very well suited for the novice triathlete.

The run course, also an open course, winds through some quaint Carpinteria neighborhoods and is mostly a flat loop course.

The Carpinteria Triathlon is a benefit event for the City’s Parks & Recreation youth programs. Proceeds will help to provide scholarships and additional equipment for programs such as After School at the Pool, Aqua Camp, Junior Lifeguards and our ocean.
