Tri-California Events confirmed last week that registration is officially underway for the 32nd annual Wildflower Triathlon. Action takes place on 2-4 May 2014 at Lake San Antonio, South Shore in Monterey County, California. The weekend kicks off with the Wildflower Long Course Triathlon (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run) on Saturday 2 May at 08:00 PT.
This is followed by the Mountain Bike Triathlon (.25m Swim, 9.7m Bike, 2m Run) on Saturday 2 May at 09:45. Finishing up the weekend, the Olympic Distance Triathlon (1.5K Swim, 40K Bike, 10K Run) takes place on Sunday 3 May at 09:00.
The second annual WF2 (athletes race the long course on Saturday and Olympic Course on Sunday) is also available for the 2014 race weekend.
What began in 1983 as a small-scale bluegrass festival and triathlon, The Wildflower Triathlons have since grown into an annual event, attracting 7,500 participants and 30,000 spectators to the three-day event.
Over the years, the event has created a passionate and dedicated following amongst triathlon enthusiasts, many of whom flock to the California Central Coast each year to soak up the intimate setting. The unique atmosphere at Lake San Antonio led Paula Newby-Frazer, a five-time winner of the event, to dub Wildflower, the “Woodstock of Triathlon”.
Participants are urged to secure a race entry quickly, as the 2014 event is expected to sell out.
