General Information

Completion, rather than competition, is the focus of the City of San Luis Obispo Parks and Recreation Department's Annual Triathlon. Each participant is encouraged to attain his or her own personal goal. This short course triathlon accommodates the novice participant and still gives the experienced participant a challenge.

 Swim - 0.5 miles Bike - 15.3 miles Run - 3.1 miles

The pool swim takes place at the San Luis Obispo Swim Center. Each participant swims 36 widths, straight-line swim, in the Olympic-sized pool. All San Luis Obispo Swim Center rules must be obeyed. Each participant is required to bring his or her own lap counter. Only the participant and their lap counter will be allowed on the pool deck.

Cyclists leave Sinsheimer pool parking lot and proceed to Orcutt Road for the majority of the out and back course. The course is full of rolling hills. Participants must obey all traffic laws. Portions of the bike course will be open to auto traffic. HELMETS ARE REQUIRED. All helmets must be designed for cycling, must be ANSI, SNELL, or CPSC certified and must be manufactured no earlier than 2004 with no visible damage. Bicycles must be in good working order, and it is recommended that they be tuned up prior to Triathlon weekend.

The run will travel along the Railroad Recreational Trail before heading on City sidewalks and streets to the finish at the San Luis Obispo Baseball Stadium. The course is mostly flat with a long hill towards the end. Runners are required to stay on sidewalks and obey all traffic laws.
