We offer a wide variety of coached triathlon workouts including pool and ocean swims all near the event site!”.

“I am humbled by the response to the event” said event founder and producer Michael Epstein. “It shows that athletes understand the value of a local creator and producer, who leads with true passion and integrity and puts the athletes first. In a time when true leadership is needed in our space MESP once again is at the forefront. In honor of celebrating the return to racing and the opening of California, we kept our entry fees low, eliminated the need for contrived price increases and continue to reward the athletes with such benefits as awards 5 deep in each division and just an all-around quality experience. I cannot wait to see everyone in Hermosa Beach in a few months!” continued Epstein.

The Hermosa Beach Triathlon is also celebrating its 30th Anniversary.
