The March Triathlon Series is the longest running collegiate triathlon in the West Coast. The event started as a senior project in 1998 and was held on campus at Cal Poly. Race participants joined from Cal Poly, Santa Barbara, and Cal Berkeley with a total of 15 racers. The spring race served as a warm up for Wildflower, which was the collegiate national championship race. Eventually, the race grew and moved to Lake Lopez, Arroyo Grande in 2004, where it transformed into the March Triathlon Series.
IRONMAN 70.3 California started out as an IRONMAN in 2000. Two years later it was turned into one of the first IRONMAN 70.3 events and helped launch the popularity of the distance.
Oceanside, California offers triathletes a chance to race in the city that birthed the sport in the early 1970's in Mission Bay. Oceanside is located at the northern end of San Diego's North County, which includes the beach communities of Del Mar, Cardiff, Encinitas, and Carlsbad—home to a mixture of surf, triathlon, and beach culture. Just half an hour south lies the city of San Diego, with its world-famous zoo, parks, and other attractions to fill a spring break vacation. Just two hours away from the local mountains, skiing and snowboarding are other options.

The run course starts off downhill but don't be fooled. What goes down has to go up. Athletes will make their way back to Lake Mission Viejo via a mixture of road, trails and walking paths. Hills for sure.

Established in 1981, the Santa Barbara Triathlon is one of the longest running triathlons in the world. And it's no wonder: Stunning scenery, flawless operations and an ocean-front transition area and finish line ensure a sell-out event every year. Stick around after the event for children's beach activities, a fabulous sports expo and convenient on-site dining.
Christopher Wright of Los Angeles Sports and Fitness Magazine calls the Santa Barbara Triathlon "idiosyncratic, unique, flawlessly organized, and beautifully situated;" journalist and six-time Ironman 70.3 champion Emma-Kate Lidbury gushes, "Races like [the Santa Barbara Triathlon] are special for a reason and, like all good things, you almost feel torn about spreading the word for fear you might spoil it by telling the masses."
Starting out the day in the beautiful waters of Crystal Cove this race is not to be missed.
The run up from the Pacific Ocean to T1 is sure to get your heart rate going if the swim didn't. From there, mount your bike and make your way out of Crystal Cove and onto PCH for a bike ride that is breath-taking not only in its beauty, but the course will leave you panting as well.
Off the bike and you are tackling a run course that is sure to be fun and challenging. Be prepared to run partly on the beach and then finish overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Be sure to hang out after and take in the experience.
