NEW THIS YEAR!

The Bakersfield Triathlon has been chosen by USATriathlon as the Olympic Distance Southwest Region Club Championship race for 2010.


The Bakersfield Triathlon is one of the longest running events in the sport. Established in 1981, the Bakersfield Triathlon has earned a reputation as one of the most challenging triathlons in the U.S. The longer course has changed some over time but the addition of 2 laps on the bike up the Bluffs and a run loop that includes the famous Hanglider Hill and Bastard Hill are enough to test the most seasoned veteran. The Sprint Course allows both the beginner and the fast & furious to have a good time without the steep hills. Relay teams are welcome in both events and a Kids Tri is available for the young ones. There is even a Collegiate division in the Sprint Course to support triathlon at the college level.
