Pacific Grove Local Customs: 6 reviews and 28 photos
To me, Pacific Grove is a surprising place for a big event like a triathlon, but this quiet little town has been if full support of this significant event since 1995. Each year about 2000 competitors converge on this little town for the three-day event that is centered around Lovers Point.
On Friday you will find an expo set up in the parking lot at Lover's Point. Saturday you will find the elite triathlons and Sunday are the sprint triathlons. The long course includes a 1.5 km swim in the kelp at Lovers Point, a 40 km bike race along the coast, and a 10 km run. The sprint course competitors have to swim only 1/4 mile, bike 12.4 miles, and run 2 miles.
The elite race has a total purse of $20,000 for males and another $20,000 for females with $2,500 going to the winners.
For spectators, the race is free and fun.
