The Sandman Triathlon and Duathlon

The Sandman Triathlon is one of Santa Cruz County’s oldest triathlons, having held its inaugural race in 1985, in the infancy of the sport. The Sandman is a fundraiser for the local State Parks, Lifeguard operations, and the Junior Lifeguard program. Proceeds help fund scholarships for underprivileged kids so they can receive high-quality water safety education. The Sandman Triathlon is a USAT-sanctioned event.
