Set at the beautiful Crystal Cove, Laguna Beach, the Pacific Coast Triathlon & Duathlon invites young and old, experienced and beginner athletes to a challenging and fun day of competition on Sept. 17. The world’s largest running triathlon series, the LA Tri Series #3 takes place at Frank G. Bonelli Park in San Dimas, CA on Oct. 1 and is the final of the series this year.
