Please join us on June 1st, 2014 for Orange County Triathlon/Duathlon.
The race starts with a swim in beautiful Lake Mission Viejo for the triathletes and a quick 2k run on Aliso Creek Bike Path for the duathletes.
The bike courses make their way up El Toro Road and into Santiago Canyon where the turn around is in sight of Irvine Lake. Athletes will fly back to T2 located at intersection of El Toro Road and Marguerite.
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.
Finish downhill into the parking lot at Lake Mission Viejo and sprint it out along the beach to the finish line!

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.
Registration is slated to open March 2014.
