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."
